Does it start sshd automatically?

That's about the only thing I could possibly get excited about.

I spend all day doing a gentoo 2005.0 install and then 2005.1 is released?

O.o

Now that I'm not being distracted by the numbers, what exactly is new in it?

No release notes? what is new? anybody?:lol:

I also would like to know what has been changed and why I should switch to a new profile. And how do I switch to 2005.1?

2005.1 is not officially released, which is why there's no notes... we had a problem internally that has gotten release materials out before they were supposed to be... and at least one ISO image (livecd-x86-2005.1.iso) is not functional properly... so I would suggest avoiding these files until an official announcement is made...

Locking this until the problems are solved and the release is official. Please have some patience in the meanwhile.

Unlocked and posting this on behalf of plasmaroo:

2005.1 is officially released but not yet available via normal mirror distribution due to a scheduled power outage at the OSU Open Source Labs. Our infrastructure personnel are working on getting the release media staged at the moment, and this should be completed along with a full PR release by 48 hours. Until please try out our BitTorrent tracker at http://tracker.netdomination.org for the official 2005.1 release media, courtesy of Friends of Gentoo eV.
The highly anticipated X LiveCD will be available via BitTorrent in a few days with the latest GLI release.

You don't need it. If your gentoo is installed then everything you need is emerge --sync && emerge -uvaD world to have the same as 2005.1

That's not quite correct.

Code: Select all

 $ readlink /etc/make.profile

Come on, folks, you don't have to use the X-CD...

just get the normal release and stop complaining about non-existant problems, please!

Chances are 99 to 1 that it will.

But if you can choose not to use lxnay's liveCD to install Gentoo, I do not see why you can't choose not to use the X liveCD.

I'm excited about this new X liveCD and the GLI. Sounds like it's going further along than what I'd realised.

wolf31o2 · Post by **wolf31o2** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:51 pm

Yes, the X LiveCD starts X automatically. Yes, you can disable it auto-starting with "nox" on the command line, just like you can stop anything else.

Oh, I was under the impression that the GLI cd would eventually replace the normal cd's (base and universal). My bad I guess.

agaffney · Post by **agaffney** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:55 pm

You were mistaken. There will always be a minimal (and probably universal) CD. Nobody is forcing anyone to use the X livecd or the installer.

Thanks for the relief of my heart!

The default shell, however, has been set to /usr/bin/emacs !!

Funny one, but there *is* no default shell

Code: Select all

chroot /mnt/gentoo /usr/bin/emacs

You would get funny results I guess

Not sure if there is an option for this in GLI btw

well, if you change the profile then you have the same, that's right.

I thought there would be only ONE liveCD.

Yes, thought so aswell, but that is luckily not the case.

And, just for the record, I got a printed XLiveCD at LinuxTag, and I love it!
