| Subject: | [gentoo-dev] ANNOUNCING -- x86 and amd64 2.6 livecds now available |

| 1 | Thanks to Bob Johnson's (LiveWire) hard work, we now have livecd's |
| 2 | available for x86 and amd64 that use the 2.6 kernel. |
| 3 | |
| 4 | The x86 livecd can be found here: |
| 5 | http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/experimental/x86/livecd/livecd-2.6_10-23-2003.iso |
| 6 | |
| 7 | There are 2 amd64 livecds, one with only the stage 1 |
| 8 | build (basic), and the other with all 3 stages (full). Which can |
| 9 | be found here: |
| 10 | http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/experimental/amd64/livecd/gentoo-amd64-2.6-basic-20031024.iso |
| 11 | http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/experimental/amd64/livecd/gentoo-amd64-2.6-full-20031024.iso |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The 2.6 livecd for amd64 should be preferred over the 2.4 livecd, as the |
| 14 | 2.4 kernel did not provide the necessary hardware/driver support. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If anyone needs my updated livecd build scripts (based off LiveWire's |
| 17 | 2.6a) they can be found here: |

| 20 | My final comment is someone needs to help poor Bob out a bit, he's stuck |
| 21 | at dial-up speeds, and he's done an amazing job with what little he |
| 22 | has (Cable/DSL is not available in his area). How about someone |
| 23 | hooking him up with a T1 or a Frame at least (Adopt a Dev program?)? |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Have fun with the new CDs! |
