I installed my Gentoo via SSH. Might be an option for you if you happen to |

have a second computer handy. |

Ah, no idea what's going on there. I don't really have a system, the one I |
11 |
use is a vmware image. I would install gentoo on my actual box if I could |
12 |
get speakup working, but every iso I've tried either hasn't had it or it's |
13 |
broken. How did you install Gentoo on your pc? Have the images been fixed |
14 |
recently? |
15 |
|

Thanks! |
