Well, the gentoo-catalyst mailing list would probably be more helpful. |

I'm sending this mail on to there, so you can get help not only from us, |

but also from other catalyst users. |

Anything is possible with catalyst. The question is how much work do |
27 |
you want to put in it. If you ask if catalyst has the support to do |
28 |
everything you want automatically, then no. You would have to write |
29 |
custom scripts yourself. |

35 |
Yeah. |

Don't. |
38 |
|
39 |
Instead, all configuration should be done by a fsscript that you call |
40 |
via livecd/fsscript. This script can be anything, so long as it is |
41 |
executable. |
