i did never test wether the gcc on the livecd works, i'd be rather 
surprised i have to admit. a lot of stuff gets removed for the livecd, 
and dev and doc packages are completely missing, but it would be very 
easy to adopt this in build_stage2.sh in target/livecd/.

by the way: the livecd announcement i posted to symlink.ch was accepted:

http://www.symlink.ch/article.pl?sid=04/10/11/0934202&mode=thread

osnews.com silently ignored it, i didn't bother sending anything to 
slashdot anymore (only n00bs there ;)
