Hello |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
There is an ongoing work to make an installer for Gentoo based in Red |
| 4 |
Hat's Anaconda. I did post an installer image in |
| 5 |
http://gentoo.latinux.org/latinux_gentoo_install/Gentoo_latinux_internet-01.img |

|

This installer will make a base installation from where you can emerge |
| 8 |
all the additional packages that you need. If you want to help in the |
| 9 |
develop of the installer the modified Anaconda sources was posted by me |
| 10 |
to the Gentoo CVS tree. |
