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

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,
how about a torrent? Then everyone's a mirror ;)

Thank you, yes, this is the next plan :) With few seeder it will be a
good distribution basis.
I will make it later.

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
Magyarszkiul: van torrent, ha tudsz, segíts a seed-ben, köszönöm!
I would like to ask those people, who uploaded the torrent file to
different trackers, please modify the description by this additional
