1 week to go

Hi All,

Well i'm sure you've noticed a bit of a slow down. The show I've been in just closed this weekend and the show I am directing opens this friday so it's been busy busy busy with me. As such my gentoo hacking has been very confined and focused but there has been some movement on my part.

Currently I have a new set of livecds I'm working on based on the 2004.2 profile with some additional goodies included. (lvm2, raidtools)

Beyond livecds we've got a fairly large amount of bugs open at the moment with alot of "working" software. This is a good development.

On the X front we'll have just remote X for awhile I'm afraid. We really do have to change the elfloader for ppc64 native x to work. But that's ok, this is a task that shouldn't be hard. Really it's just a copy job from the glibc elf loader into xorg's elf loader and that'll be that.

Anyway... Come one week from today my weeknights will be free again and I plan on getting alot done!
