There are some fluff in baselayout ebuild not needed. I will |
| 18 |
let you know what after I have worked through it. Also, I still |
| 19 |
think we should have USE=livecd to even install livecd related |
| 20 |
scripts, etc - more after review. |

I think the general idea is not to have a passwd with |
| 27 |
a livecd - just me though. |

Right. Did anybody yet fix the damn bootsplash ebuild to |
| 33 |
actually work with the new baselayout? |

I do not see the rush - all who is appropriate, can get things |
| 39 |
done for the time being, but I really want a few days to sit |
| 40 |
and sort through this. |
