[gentoo-user] Gentoo "Install CD" 2008.Feb.08. minimal i686
Pongracz Istvan
Finally I succeed to build a minimal install CD using catalyst.
Unfortunately some bugs of the genkernel package caused some white hair
for me, but the trunk version seems working :)
(Thank you developers and bug reporters for the patches.)
Before somebody starts a new email-war, I want to tell you, I know, this
kind of "nearly-official" live install CD is not really necessary to
install a new gentoo system.
Just read back some emails in the last few weeks.
Anyway, now I am uploading to my server (slow uplink, sorry :)
Details of my "release":
- i686 (mtune)
3 packages:
- the minimal install CD (~55MB)
- portage snapshot 08/02/2008 (~30MB)
- stage3 (probably 110MB, I start to build now)
Anyway, the genkernel ebuild in the portage tree has bad digest, because
I made a new for the trunk version. Simply make an emerge --sync to be
sure about the valid packages.
These will be available in my website (I need some hours):
http://www.osbusiness.hu/?lang=en&page_name=gentoolinux
Please, do not kill my server with overload :)
If somebody has a mirror, drop me a private mail.
If you find a bug or you have feature request or you simply want to
donate my work :) drop me a PM.
Cheers,
István

Gentoo CD I used to install over 3 years ago included support for
Swedish keyboard layout. Knoppix left that out to have space for some
cruft, so Knoppix is really just for users with the more common layouts
(English, German, Russian and a few more). I do not think that this
problem was mentioned in the recent email-war.

Hi, thank you for your mail, this is great!
Here are 42 layouts.
Anyway, I had problems to compile some packages (rtppoe or similar and
some others). I left them out.
Sorry about that.

Sorry, I have only 32 bit systems.
My capacity is not enough to do this (except if I start using qemu to do
this).
I have no idea (yet), how to cross-compile a complete stage.
Maybe later (months, years, I do not know).
The livecd + its digest + portage snapshot is ready to download.
The stage3 is still under construction (22 packages left + upload time -
probably tomorrow morning).
Cheers,
Iain Buchanan

it's a start!

Sure, thank you for you both (Iain and Hal).
I prepare a torrent file and I will send it to you.
I plan to bundle the livecd + portage snapshot + stage3.
Any pro/contra?
First, I have to learn using a tracker :)

Torrent file available here:
http://www.torrentbox.com/torrent_details?id=174031
http://isohunt.com/release/116718/gentoo?poster=&cat=-1
They are the same, but isohunt is only a search engine, while the
torrentbox is the tracker.
Please help to seed if you can.
Thank you,
István
