I have always just burned the latest install dvd, |
| 10 |
to take shopping and boot up potential computers |
| 11 |
and have a spin, right in the store. |

The last HP laptop I tried DV7-6178US did not boot |
| 14 |
( I even when into the bios to try to get it to boot) |
| 15 |
off the dvd (11.2); so that was a new experience for |
| 16 |
me. |

What instructions are you using to install off of the |
| 19 |
11.2 DVD? You can just boot the 11.2 dvd and run gentoo |
| 20 |
from the dvd, if you like. |

The handbook steps are somewhat different that installing |
| 23 |
off of the 11.2 dvd. I ran across some instructions on |
| 24 |
installing directly off the 11.2 dvd a while ago, but I |
| 25 |
did not try it: |
