Is this still a problem with the current LiveCDs?
Comment 2 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-10 09:23:11 UTC
let us know if this is still a problem
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:29 UTC
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
