None. But the portage snapshot is best fetched from the web anyway, as far as I'm concerned. Same with the handbook, as it may contain (theoritcal) up-to-the minute corrections. So, the portage snapshot and handbook don't have to on the Live CD. Stage Tarball - well, yes, that's an additional download, that's true. Michael Schmarck -- Narrator: Oh, no!
