If you have broadband, then fall back to installing gentoo manually. I have |
| 23 |
had nothing but problems, similar t yours, with both the live-cd and |
| 24 |
live-dvd. Neither one finished to completion, however, the failed live-dvd |
| 25 |
install left just enough system on the target harddrive that I was able to |
| 26 |
finish up the install manually. |

Who ever thought these live disks were good for installing from... well... it |
| 29 |
isn't. |

That said, the Knoppix Live-DVD installs flawlessly to hard drives. |
