mc would be really nice, another app users use pretty often is net-irc/irssi ,
I'm however missing support for ntfs3g, sys-process/htop is a must for
management of tasks
some pc magazines are proclaiming the gentoo livecd as a recue-media
so inclusion for
cryptsetup, dosfstools, testdisk/photorec, sdparm, smartmontools,
hddtemp would also be great

if they fit on the (non-minimal) livecd dev-util/git, subversion, cvs
& friends are very helpful if you need something in the beginning from
an overlay or the gentoo cvs / svn servers

thanks

Guys, have you forgotten you were talking about the "minimal" live cd?
Which is exactly what its name says it is : minimal. Only the critical
stuff needed to install Gentoo.


If you want more stuff, there's always the regular live cd, which is
also there for exactly this reason


Cheers,

yeah, hm, sorry, the topic didn't say minimal cd

at least cryptsetup should be included additionally on the minimal cd
(if not already) otherwise I have no access to my data (config files,
etc) during installation
I'm sure there are others who need it, too

No, we're not adding "random" apps to the minimal, especially something so very
unnecessary.

The minimal CD should be minimal. Unless it's firmware/drivers, I'm not
likely to add anything here.

Also, why don't you use the LiveCD ISO if you're already grabbing
systemrescuecd? You *can* boot the ISO without X and you *can* use it
without using the Installer, you know. ;]

Guys, *PLEASE* make sure you're not requesting things which we already
ship.

Thanks

Hrrmn... file a bug for ntfs3g (assign to release@gentoo.org) and I'll
add it. What's htop? Actually, file a bug for it, too.

Done, Done, Done/Not Done, Done, Done, Not Done...

We already ship most of these. Please try to keep comments to things we
*don't* already do.

We had cvs/subversion already, but not git. Could you (or anyone) file
a bug for that, please?

Thanks,

When he said "LiveCD" I assumed that he meant the LiveCD. The minimal
CD is not and never has been suitable for a rescue CD except in the
simplest of cases.
