Is it the problem with those additional ~20MiB? |
| 16 |
If it's about not fitting anymore on "minimal" release media - then it's not |
| 17 |
the problem - it will still be able to fit on ~128MB memory sticks and 3,5" |
| 18 |
~210MB cd's. And if it's going to make Gentoo accessible for those handicapped |
| 19 |
in some way - why not? (Not sure how they actually manage to set up Gentoo |
| 20 |
with "no monitor" - even with speech engine on terminal - I just couldn't - |
| 21 |
most respect for them). |
