ABSTRACT
	Being made available today is the sixth Release Candidate (RC6) of the Gentoo/MIPS
	SGI LiveCD.  The purpose of this CD is to test the capabilities of a bootable SGI
	LiveCD that includes Xorg functionality to demonstrate the look and feel of an Xorg
	environment across several different SGI systems and configurations.

	Since this SGI X LiveCD is still an experimental test of Xorg functionality, there
	may exist within unknown bugs or other glitches.  We therefore encourage users of
	this CD to report any problems, bugs, glitches or other flaws they encounter during
	its use.  Additionally, if users have ideas for making this CD better, then those
	are also welcome.

	Also of note is that this CD doubles as an InstallCD for those systems that cannot
	boot into an Xorg environment.  A stage3 tarball is available in the /stages folder
	that is built with gcc-4.1.1 and targetted for the MIPS-III ISA.  A Portage snapshot
	dated October 2nd, 2006 is also available in the /snapshots folder.

	Those able to boot into the Xorg environment can also install a Gentoo system using
	these provided files; however, due to the resources consumed when running Xorg, this
	process can be slower than installing from the InstallCD.


	Bugs and Enhancements are to be submitted to the following bug:

	#150402, [TRACKER] Gentoo/MIPS X LiveCD RC6 Bugs, Suggestions, Feedback
	http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150402

HOW TO BURN THE CD
	This CD image has only been tested to burn correctly on Linux systems using the
	`cdrecord` program.  This image is not a traditional ISO9660 image.  It is instead
	a partitioned disk image similar to SGI IRIX Install CDs.  The kernels and arcload
	bootloader are stored in a special "Volume Header" partition, while the actual CD
	Filesystem is stored in a separate partition.

	Because of the unique construction of this CD, most Windows CD Burning programs are	
	known to fail when burning this image.  Before reporting bugs with the burning
	process, make sure it was burned with the `cdrecord` command.



BOOTING
	To boot this CD, simply follow these steps:

	1) Place the CD into the CD-ROM drive
	2) Power on the system
	3) Select Item #2, "Install System Software"
	4) Confirm that the source is set to the local CD-ROM
	5) Press enter to start

Three systems for the X Kings under the GUI,
    Seven for the Console Lords in their halls of chrome,
Nine for Normal Users doomed to die,
    One for the Dark Lord in his dark /home
In the Land of Gentoo where the sources lie.
    One CD to run them all, One CD to find them,
    One CD to bring them all and in the drive boot them
In the land of Gentoo where the sources lie.
