I don't think there are boot floppy for gentoo yet (please correct me if i'm wrong), |
| 8 |
but you can use a floppy disk from another distribution, provided the kernel on it is |
| 9 |
recent enough (2.4.x) to support the 'bind' option for mount, and there is classical |
| 10 |
unix tools (tar, mount, bzip2, ...). Or if you have another Linux distibution installed |
| 11 |
you can also simply bootstrap your Gentoo Linux from there ! |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
One you have booted, you partition the disk as indicated in the installation guide, |
| 14 |
mount the cdrom and your future gentoo partition, uncompress the build-xxx.tar.bz2 |
| 15 |
image, and then do the chroot and then go ahead following the docs ... |

If you want more info, you can mail me :P |
