Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Somebody in #gentoo gave me this idea so I thought it might be cool if I |
| 4 |
passed it around. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Bootstrapping a gentoo stage1 system is a lenghty process. Plus, the stage1 |
| 7 |
disk is 16MB in size, there's lotsa space to fill up with useful stuff like |
| 8 |
... games! |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Face it, gentoo users have __powerful__ computers. And even those who don't, |
| 11 |
still they can use a web-browser or IRC client __during__ |
| 12 |
bootstrapping/whatever untill they have a fully wroking system. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I am for including a minimal X server with links in graphical mode, or hell |
| 15 |
even galeon, bitchx as IRC software for asking setup-repated questions to |
| 16 |
#gentoo or even better, Read the holy Docs on www.gentoo.org ... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What's more to it is games. It's a boring process, wayting. People could |
| 19 |
fire up nethack or some solitaire... There's lots of good games for linux |
| 20 |
out there and most of em run no problems on almost any machine. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
HOnestly, I see no flaws in the component I want to add to stage1 tarball. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Anyway, I'll be in #gentoo ;) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
oh, almost forgot. I will have a bot connected to #gentoo, similar to |
| 28 |
#debian's apt. I hope this is alright with channel moderators, I won't have |
| 29 |
problems for having an initiative... |

Thanks! |
