Sorry while your opinion on the license seems relevant, the rest seems not |

download them from cvs, which isn't hard if you need 'em for enterprise |
| 20 |
(the installed ones are kept in vdb in any case.) I don't see why Gentoo |

should be supporting old *install media* as opposed to the tree of software |

which people should have updated to. |
