Following the announce of Gentoo 1.2 cds, I've just created a [meta] |
| 2 |
stage4 tarball to evaluate how big it would be to accommodate xfree, |
| 3 |
fluxbox, mozilla, xchat, links, ircssi, nvi, gpm and gentoolkit to help |
| 4 |
people have a graphic environment and/or access to www and irc in the |
| 5 |
setup process (as stated by Faust Tanasescu in a later post). The |
| 6 |
resulting stage4 tarball was about 100M larger than the stage3 one. A CD |
| 7 |
with stage1 (ix86), stage2 (ix86, i586, i686), stage3 (i586, i686) and |
| 8 |
stage4 (i586, i686) would take less than 800M (in the case it can't fit |
| 9 |
on a CD, one of the stage4 versions could be stripped). |

I've installed the packages right over a chroot with |
| 12 |
stage3-i[56]86-1.3a.tbz2, export USE="-gnome -java" (to avoid mozilla |
| 13 |
install a JVM and xchat install gnome dependencies) and emerge xfree |
| 14 |
fluxbox mozilla xchat links ircssi nvi gpm gentoolkit |
| 15 |
|

Do you think it's a good thing to provide such stage4 tarball |
| 17 |
officially? |
