Description Kobboi 2008-04-20 09:52:09 UTC

I think that installer CDs should have better networking support. It is the most important thing an installer environment should provide, since with networking, I am able to get anything extra from the internet if needed. My desktop system only has wireless to connect to the internet, but I need to use ndiswrapper, which is not installed on the LiveCD system. 

So at least for me, the LiveCD is totally useless for installing, I always have to resort to other running systems to install a new Gentoo. That doesn't really sound right, does it?

Reproducible: Always
