Hello... |

You are one of the few Linux distributions *not* |
| 4 |
supplying a boot floppy disk .img. Why's that? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Not all systems support bootable CDs. Mine, for one, |
| 7 |
doesn't. |

Of course I read the FAQ, namely: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
<< It is possible, however, for users to install |
| 12 |
Gentoo Linux directly from an already-existing Linux |
| 13 |
distribution. Such users need only download the .tbz2 |
| 14 |
file, install the contents on a spare partition |
| 15 |
(making sure to use the p flag when untarring the |
| 16 |
tarball!), chroot, and install in the usual fashion. |
| 17 |
>> |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
but I'd rather have a good ol' floppy if it's |
| 20 |
possible. Your alternative install method requires an |
| 21 |
"already-existing Linux distribution", and that's |
| 22 |
quite a requirement. I just want to install Gentoo, |
| 23 |
without having to download another distro and install |
| 24 |
it first. :) |

Thanks in advance. |
