Please keep Sabayon 8 up or build a legacy hardware spin!

Postby Johnny Who » Thu Nov 08, 2012 22:10

I am a big fan of sabayon but I do find the fact that from Sl 9 and up it will not boot on 32bit machines without PAE. So, I suggest either keeping SL 8 up infinitely or build a small core cd preconfigured for old hardware. I think that I will be working on that using molecule, and then upload the image through mediafire cloud. But it would be just a great idea to create an official spin. What do you think?

Moving to Artwork and Development Suggestions section, since it is a development suggestion.
I think it would be a good idea, since I've seen some requests for such a kernel in the forums.

Installing from SL 8 and upgrading does work, but SL 8 is an old sabayon. I `ll be building some iso `s soon. I would like to hear your suggestions, as I can`t build a version with every desktop environment. Should it be a small core cd like cdx or something lite, such as with, say, lxde? Also, which spinbase should I use, probably SL 8 with a newer kernel included or SL 10?
