Description
Hi there!
I've been checking in with your project over the last few months and it seems interesting. At least I've been looking for something similar to Gentoo but with actual binary package support for a long time.
Unfortunately I've never been able to boot the ISOs due to a lack of a CD drive. Well, I didn't try running isohybrid before dding to the USB stick but I think there's more to it than that. I guess I've been spoiled in recent years and it tends to work, or alternatively something like a raw .img file is provided. Sorry for the lack of description beyond "it doesn't work!", but it doesn't seem to even reach a boot loader, EFI or not.
Also, it seems there are some fields in this report template it probably shouldn't let me fill out but does, such as assignee and confirmed status, etc.
Thanks, Tod
