cfdisk, vim, 185MB cap for ISO and...

static

I've got some great ideas:

cfdisk (I see I'm not alone on this one)
vim (or this one)
Never let the ISO's get bigger than 185MB so we can burn them to those awesome 3.25" CD-R's
add
- export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
- emerge --pretend system (can drop this maybe?)
- emerge system
to the bootstrap.sh so we can leave for work or goto bed and come back real happy
add some perfetly sized covers to pick from for gentoo in the Graphics section to go into those awesome 3.25" CD-R jewel cases
death metal playing while it bootstraps --

Cheers guys, and thanks for the fastest, greatest linux!

the tiny cd thing was funny, but this idea:

add
export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
emerge --pretend system (can drop this maybe?)
emerge system

I ABSOLUTELY agree with... since they are done back to back with the bootstrap. nice call

thanks - it occured to me when I snuck away from work today to drive a half hour there and a half hour back to type those three lines, just so it'd be done for when I get home :roll:

It'll be worth the drive, but if only...

Oh sure. Take the long way. Isn't it easier to have the developers throw it in, take a couple of hours to test it, then get complaints from people who want/need to do something different (like skip the bootstrap step) then get them to program a menu where we can use our mouse to check the options we want with lots and lots of "are you sure?" boxes....... :roll:

Oh wait, I could just use windows.

I never thought of it. :oops:
