It's good idea to have - Grub binary on LiveCD (/lib/grub/i386-pc) - Syslinux Binary on LiveCD (/usr/lib/syslinux/) - Grub floppy emulation on LiveCD (using syslinux memdisk and grub floppy) I want to install grub to harddisk but LiveCD does not provide any grub/syslinux binary on it. Although it can chroot to the install linux partiton to rescue or install grub to the harddisk. But it need working gentoo installation and grub to be merged. Sometime we need shortcut only to make harddisk "bootable" At least, It useful for : - direct load kernel (on harddisk) and boot from grub - load another floppy image using syslinux memdisk - Setup grub to hdd,floppy without gentoo installation (that need grub to be merged) - make bootable usb-stick (and even bootable gentoo LiveCD on usb-stick) - rescue my MBR (Sure, without working gentoo, It cannot)
Ehh... grub is on the Installer LiveCD, as is lilo. If you mean the InstallCD, which is the Minimal or Universal CD set for installation, then no. We are not adding any rescue features to those images when we already have not one, but two, complete rescue environments. Please let me know which CD you mean.
Oh! I try examine Gentoo Installer CD (not minimal, universal). There are grub/lilo exists, but not syslinux. I think doing this to Installer CD only is fine and good idea to make it complete rescure environment. Left minimal, universal as is.
...
I've added syslinux to the LiveCD spec files, and will RESOLVE this when the next LiveCD is released...
This should have been RESOLVED a long time ago.
