Anyway, I need to fix this in the hwsetup ebuild and make sure that livecd-tools checks for the directory before continuing. Thanks wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2008-04-03 00:30:04 0000 OK, I just added the keepdir to the ebuild. I could have sworn that it was there, but it was not. I'm also adding a check to autoconfig in livecd-tools, so even if the ebuild is missing it, we'll create it before running hwsetup. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2008-04-04 01:55:46 0000 OK, this is also fixed in livecd-tools SVN... I'll need to remember to roll up a new livecd-tools before Beta 2. agaffney@gentoo.org 2008-04-06 16:40:32 0000 *** Bug 216474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** wimmuskee@gmail.com 2008-04-09 18:40:27 0000 also on the x86 minimal install cd wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2008-04-09 20:36:23 0000 We're well aware.
