Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I *just* finished a brand-new installation guide specifically for Gentoo Linux |
| 4 |
1.0_rc4_pre2. It's much improved and should solve a lot of problems that |
| 5 |
people have been having. If any corrections/additions need to be made, please |
| 6 |
download the HTML file, make your changes, and email me your updated version. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
And... it looks like I'm going to be building yet another 1.0_rc4_pre2 ISO |
| 9 |
image tonight. The bootgrub.img looks old, and Achim just sent me our first |
| 10 |
build.tbz2 file. This is the minimal system that allows you to compile your |
| 11 |
own system from scratch. Right now, it may not be useable at all. I believe |
| 12 |
that we need to add the system sources to the CD (so that you can recompile |
| 13 |
things without net access). In addition, there's no documentation for using |
| 14 |
build.tbz2 yet, but if you're adventurous, then maybe you'd like to help us |
| 15 |
try it out and contribute bug fixes and improvements. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The new build.tbz2 file and ISO image should appear on ibiblio.org in about an |
| 18 |
hour and a half. I'm waiting for build.tbz2 to finish uploading and for a |
| 19 |
reply from Achim to point me towards the most recent version of our |
| 20 |
bootgrub.img file. I'll post a short message here when our (hopefully) final |
| 21 |
version of the rc4_pre2 ISO is ready. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thanks for your patience and for helping us fix the quirks in our release |
| 24 |
process, |
| 25 |
