Tracker bug for the X LiveCD RC6. Bugs, feedback, suggestions, etc all go here.

Boy, you people are quick.... I'm not gonna host the CD off the dev.gentoo.org address, but the mirrors for once (to avoid annoying our infra team, who prefer large files go onto the mirrors). It's gonna get put on the system for mirror hosting and then I have to ping someone to have it sent out, which might take up to 24-48 hours to fully propagate to all the mirrors. The reason you see it there, is I had to get some second opinions about the README file, and thus made the directory visible, which exposes both the CD Image and the README file, hence why one is 403 :)
A LiveCD with a newer kernel would be excellent. I've hit a couple snags where something needed a newer kernel than 2.6.13 to compile.
Refocusing bug, as we don't need feedback as much as we just need a whole new CD.
Cross-posting the install media bit from #348653: Things I could use some help on to make creating new install media easier: - Semi-recent multilib stage3 for mips3 or mips4 big-endian. I last had this working in 2013, but one of the major package moves killed the thing dead, and it's probably bitrotted too far to be salvageable in catalyst now. I'll take any seed stage3 from late 2014 on up to base off of, if anyone's got one. - uclibc-based stage3, mips1 through mips4, big-endian. This would be for the netboots. I already using musl to base a netboot off of, but musl doesn't play well with differing values for PAGE_SIZE. I.e., if I build the netboot on a machine running PAGE_SIZE=64K, then 4K and 16K machines will have problems. I suspect musl is hardcoding the PAGE_SIZE value somewhere. I'd like to keep the netboots small, under ~15MB, which uclibc can help with. If push comes to shove, though, I may just shoehorn the thing w/ glibc and go overboard on compression. With those two puzzle pieces out of the way, and with working netboots, creating LiveCD media should be pretty easy...though arcload's multi-machine functions haven't been tested in a LONG time.
