There is no need to wait for any release. You can use what ever |
| 22 |
environment you want e.g. any live distro, running linux,... to install |
| 23 |
gentoo. On gentoo there aren't release steps in the way other distros |
| 24 |
do. So go ahead, boot a livecd get the appropriate stage3 tarball and |
| 25 |
portage tarball and begin to love gentoo. If you are waiting for the new |
| 26 |
release of the installer, then I would recommend you to do it better the |
| 27 |
normal gentoo way as descripted in the handbook |
