Edit: I personally think that gnome is too big for a live cd. It would be better to say use TWM for the gtk installer as an option. Currently I switched to twm and seems the gtk installer runs better. Perhaps a chooser should exist on the live cd for twm or gnome or commandline login right before gdm launches. A dialog with "3" options since kde is out of question fitting on the cd unless trimming some apps from gnome could help.
Actually since it is a live cd meant for a one time thing. How about switch to windows maker or xfce? It seems more reasonable to have a liter desktop manager just for a "1" task.
The live cd should not try to be "very fun" for that purpose live cd's such as knoppix exist where power livecd is needed. Gentoo livecd is best left to be under 400 mb.
Anyone think same?
Hello
Sorry, I am on a live CD installing gentoo-2006.0 with the new GUI installer. So I am going to speak brief not to shakeup already a fragile installer. At this point it seems very very fragile virtually anything even a post could throw it off. Such as using most of the cpu while it is running. My aim is for the developers to read users should skip this. Unless they could understand the code or add anything interesting. Developers check this out! So far a fourth retry resumed and this error no longer so far popping up. Using the latest snapshot by running the updater.
Log from the installer.log.failed:

May, may not post a reply to this post as too busy with the installer.

Most developers don't read the forums. A much better way to get in touch is to file bug reports (as long as they don't already exist): https://bugs.gentoo.org.
