Hi |

I think that any of the live CDs are going to give you problems with 64MB |
| 4 |
RAM. I think the minimal ISO is a live CD that allows you to install Gentoo |
| 5 |
from there. You can try installing another distro on the harddrive and then |
| 6 |
installing gentoo using that distro. |

|

Compiling Gentoo on such an old machine is very brave, I hope you intend to |
| 9 |
use distcc. |
