When setting up Gentoo on a PPC for the first time and configuring the kernel, the selection of options can be overwhelming even for someone like myself, who has used Linux since the early 1990s (but on Intel, not PPC). The Intel Live-CD has support compiled into the kernel that makes the kernel's build options available via /proc/config.gz. It would be extremely useful to have the same functionality on the PPC live-cd, so that one has a good kernel config reference to start from. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: ls /proc/config* Actual Results: yields nothing Expected Results: ls /proc/config should yield: /proc/config.gz (containing the compilation options for the working livecd kernel)
I think this is a good idea. Have already enabled it for G5 livecds :-)
Great News! Will the G5 Live-CDs work with a G4 powerbook 17" (nvidia) laptop, or is it G5 optimized/G4 incompatible? If it works, I'll download and try it out! Thanx! Jean
currently it is G5 only and therefore doesn't work on your powerbook yet. We are working on a the 2004.0 release. I'll assign this to the ppc kernel developer. Pieter
