Joost you should not be responding to people seeking help. Your attititude is offensive. |

Joachim and Rich have made positive suggestions. Sorry about top posting, but today is |
3 |

I had a quick look at that |
144 |
one. (Part 1 only) and it looks like the old quick install |
145 |
guide, but now with screenshots. |
146 |
|
147 |
Screenshots are nice, but are always version |
148 |
dependent. |
149 |
|
150 |
If I would get a |
151 |
penny or cent or whatever is the smallest part of your local |
152 |
currency for every time someone is completely incapable of |
153 |
following an install guide when only one of the screenshots |
154 |
no longer 100% match the guide, I would have already retired |
155 |
to my own little island in the Pacific... |
156 |
|
157 |
The screenshots on that link |
158 |
seem to be related to a boot CD/DVD dated to 2012 and being |
159 |
used to install Gentoo in 2014. |
160 |
|
161 |
I expect more confused questions from people |
162 |
who are not able to follow simple instructions if they are |
163 |
going to blindly follow this. |
