Dear Developer TEAM

Ok, I was not suggesting we get IT departments to set up each and every 
machine from the cdrom. I am in favor too of ONE installation cdrom, with the 
ability to pickup the extra sources from itself, with the base system running. 
It is just that I believe that at least one cdrom available to download can 
make a difference and I would like to contribute in this if possible. All 
criticism was constructive and I am really looking forward for the ability to 
a NET-less installation of gentoo.

Hope I was clear enough and thank you for your prompt response. just think 
also of people (like me since I travel around a lot) that most of their time 
are on 56k. I managed to make my own cd the same way burtzmali did in the 
forum thread ... but this is something on which many more people will keep on 
annoying you, so just put something up that clearly states your position to 
the pubblic. I am just opting for a NET-less install cdrom (1 i guess) being 
able to be downloaded, or instructions to newbies available on how to make 
their own cds. Not everyone is able to access cheapbytes stuff, geographically 
speaking.

Thank you again for your kind and prompt response.

Please respond to the original bug report.  Opening up a new bug report, to
respond to an already open bug report is ridiculous.

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.
