Strange. We should be creating the directory in the ebuild. Anyway, I need to fix this in the hwsetup ebuild and make sure that livecd-tools checks for the directory before continuing. Thanks
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.
OK, this is also fixed in livecd-tools SVN... I'll need to remember to roll up a new livecd-tools before Beta 2.
