Description Ladislav Zitka 2016-04-29 13:10:22 UTC
Hi guys,
I tried IRC channels, but without luck, so will file a bug, but type of request.

I would like to include other Gentoo Live DVD to be included at official Gentoo site as for example alternative. I am using it for many years and it is quite often updated and always work very well. It is about exGENT media:
http://exgent.exton.net/

What do you think guys? If this is not right place to discuss this, can you point to right one?

Thank you.

Ladislav

The stages / ISOs available through the Gentoo mirrors are produced by Gentoo.
What is so special about that DVD that makes you like it? Who builds it and how is it built?

@releng:
opinions?

The only intention here was exgent is updated regulary every few months and the kernel keep up with latest hardware, while gentoo live build is occuring every few years..., but I am closing this.

It could be good if the build of Live DVD could be automated somehow.
