Hi, |
| 28 |
As a stupid user type, but one who does care about Gentoo and would |
| 29 |
like Gentoo to be strong and healthy, I'd certainly be interested in a |
| 30 |
very minimal install CD. I think it's good marketing that someone who |
| 31 |
wishes to use Gentoo can download something that writes Gentoo on his |
| 32 |
screen while he does the installation. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
All I personally want out of an install CD is something that: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
1) Boots new hardware well enough to do the install. The current |
| 37 |
LiveCD doesn't boot a P5E motherboard so I couldn't do the install on |
| 38 |
that machine using it. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
2) Has networking turned on for whatever my NIC is and makes it easy |
| 41 |
to start sshd. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
At that point I'll sit on another machine and copy/paste install |
| 44 |
commands to do a Stage 3 install. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I wouldn't use a tarball on this CD. I'd go to the net to get the |
| 47 |
latest and greatest. It just needs a good kernel and networking |
| 48 |
support. After that it's up to me. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
This install CD, should you do it and I hope you do, should be |
| 51 |
focused at supporting new motherboards as soon as possible to ensure I |
| 52 |
can always install Gentoo on the newest machines. As far as I'm |
| 53 |
concerned, and this is just me the dumb user type, it doesn't need X, |
| 54 |
frame buffers, sound or *anything* fancy. Just boot to a text console |
| 55 |
and let me do my work. That would be perfect. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Thanks for listening. |
| 58 |

Cheers, |
