After reading your reply, I've got to say that you failed. |

Oh, quite easy - to install Gentoo. That way, the knowledge of experts |
| 18 |
in creating live CDs is leveraged. NIH is not a good point of view, if |
| 19 |
you ask me. |

Easy - to make use of expert knowledge. To save resources, as that's |
| 25 |
obviously a scarcity in Gentoo. |

Fine. I never did that. |

Uhm? That doesn't make sense. Downloading GRML is no worse than |

downloading a Gentoo Live CD. |

Fine for you. That's obviously not the case for Shaochun. |

Real programmers don't draw flowcharts. Flowcharts are, after all, the |
