I ran a small script from the portage repo called tabcheck.py against the catalyst source, and I was quite frightened by what I saw. I'm sure there is a lot more that it didn't fine, but I've done some cleanup. A patch against SVN is attached.
Created attachment 106823 [details, diff] a description to satisfy bugzie
OK, here's what I get after applying this patch... vertigo i686 # catalyst -a -f livecd-stage1-large.spec Gentoo Catalyst, version 2.0.2 Copyright 2003-2006 The Gentoo Foundation Distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 Using default Catalyst configuration file, /etc/catalyst/catalyst.conf Setting sharedir to config file value "/usr/lib/catalyst" Setting snapshot_cache to default value "/var/tmp/catalyst/snapshot_cache" Setting hash_function to config file value "crc32" Setting storedir to config file value "/var/tmp/catalyst" Setting portdir to default value "/usr/portage" Setting distdir to config file value "/usr/portage/distfiles" Setting options to config file value "autoresume kerncache pkgcache seedcache snapcache" Autoresuming support enabled.

Created attachment 107271 [details, diff] new patch It looks like I indented the 'else' in livecd_stage1_target.py's set_pkgcache_path() 1 level too far. This new patch corrects that.
Added to subversion...
Fixed in 2.0.2
