Hello, since Gentoo started its "Gentoopix" LiveCD I really miss a CD for networkless-installation. I don't know why the stage3 is missing, because just some people need a full Gnome-Desktop for the installation :-(
A year ago I could choose between a Minimal-CD for network-installation, or a Universal-CD for offline-installation (independence) network-installation. Nowadays I need to load a "Gentoopix" with a lot of really unnecessary Gnome-Stuff, and even don't get a real Stage3, just a bunch of Voodoo-Scripts. First Question: Where is here the Choice_Of_Gentoo and why are we breaking with our tradition of shell-installing? I would be better to offer a real Universal-CD or to creat a bootloader-script, which gives the users the possibility to start X11/GTK-Installer if they want this, not without a question. Second Question: Will there be a new Universal-CD (or a DVD) with a real Stage3 for networkless-installion? I think, a gentoo-user should be able to choose between the shell, ncurses- and a gtk-installer. And any of this groups should have the same possibilites to install.
