13 I don't currently have an updated LiveCD image. Even if I did have one,
14 I would suggest one not to look at the end product rather than look at
15 the process of making one. In other words, people interested in this
16 project should instead look at the git repo at
17 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/clustering-livecd.git;a=tree .

22 Yes, definitely better off following the instructions and asking me
23 questions when appropriate. Expect problems as the baselayout tends to
24 changed and stage 1-3 builds also tend to be _very_ sensitive to USE
25 flags and package evolution (just ask the release just engineers ;) ).

34 Horribly outdated compared to the GIT, we had a deadline and I kept
