Curiosity got the better of me as my memory of a month ago fades :) |

From MacOS: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Insert GentooCD |
| 6 |
double click bootX (assumes you have kernel in appropriate place) |
| 7 |
click options button |
| 8 |
click 'boot from specified ram disk' |
| 9 |
navigate CD to GentooPPC_1.4:boot:livecd.img |
| 10 |
click ok |
| 11 |
in kernel options/arguments box enter: |
| 12 |
devfs=mount init=linuxrc.installer rw |
| 13 |
NOTE: I don't know if the rw option is necessary - it was in 1.2 |
| 14 |
click the linux button |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
You should boot into the (partial on rc2) installer which will allow you |
| 17 |
to setup the network and partition your disks and extract the stage |
| 18 |
tarball that you want to use. The docs from 1.2 were sufficiently close |
| 19 |
to allow me to continue from there, although IIRC there were not any |
| 20 |
stage tarballs on the iso I have - thus the need to transfer it from a |
| 21 |
hfs partition where it was downloaded by macos - I couldn't remember the |
| 22 |
url from ibiblio to use wget. |

REQUEST TO ANY PACKAGERS: |
| 25 |
we oldworld users want quik instead of yaboot - thank you debian |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
also, my ancient twinturbo video driver was not built by default in the |
| 28 |
build of X, so I grabbed a binary module from debian which has worked |
| 29 |
fine. I love apt-get, but for me, the optimized compiles have made |
| 30 |
gentoo the distro for me. |

| 32 |
Thanks guys, |
