The reason he posted XXX is because it doesn't matter what media you |
2 |
use. You can use the minimal one, the Live one, a DVD or USB with |
3 |
sysrescue on it, another Linux install, Knoppix or whatever Linuxy thing |
4 |
to install Gentoo from. My first install was done from Mandrake. My |
5 |
last one from sysrescue. It's the same steps for them both. What |
6 |
install media you use doesn't matter. |

When you get to that prompt, then you start the install process. It's |
16 |
not one command, it is a serious of them that you have to enter in. |
17 |
Unless someone created a installer and I missed it, you have to install |
18 |
Gentoo manually. There is no installer. |
