17 Zhen i have much respect for the work your doing on livecds now, but are you
18 really so blind to the quality?

20 Ive also seen notes that second kernel will be removed from future releases
21 (if we cant fix it remove it) , also framebuffer/bootsplash will be removed..
22 (same thing , cant fix it remove it). If all of Gentoo did this, in a few
23 years portage would be 2 ebuilds and a few scripts..
24
25 The process needs to slow down a bit.

27 And btw this is not just personal feelings, ive had almost all ppl touching
28 x86 livecds ask for help.
