Hi! |

I haven't installed Gentoo yet, but i want to do it asap... |
| 4 |
I've also sent this mail to gentoo-desktop, but there isn't much activity on that list... |
| 5 |
But I have a few questions before i take the step. |
| 6 |

1° I downloaded build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r9.iso, is that version good enough to install gentoo without |
| 8 |
having to deal with strange problems? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2° On the site, it states: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
"And even though the build images are only for Gentoo Linux build testers (at least right now), |
| 13 |
some of our more saavy users have already used them to build functional pre-1.0_rc6 systems. |
| 14 |
However, I don't recommend you do this unless you have a lot of time on your hands, since nearly |
| 15 |
all packages with initscripts need to be updated to work with our new dependency-based init system. |
| 16 |
While this isn't difficult work, it's probably best if you let us get to it first. :) " |
| 17 |
|

.... Does that mean i shouldn't install it yet, because of those init-things? :'o( |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
3° Can i update in the future to for example build-ix86-1.0_rc7 or something without having to format and reinstall |
| 21 |
the whole system? If so, i'm certain i want to install the current build :o) (i like cvs-versions hehe :o) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I've been using Linux (mostly Redhat, but i've used Debian for a little while as well) for 2 years now... |
| 24 |
So i don't call myself a newbie anymore... |

Please cc any replies to my personal email address, because i'm only registered at desktop... |
