i've run the live cd and the installer on my MSI neo4 with amd athlon |
| 2 |
64 3000+ and 1GB of RAM with no errors.. i just ran into a problem |
| 3 |
that i made myself by canceling the installation while still |
| 4 |
partitioning the system it deleted the partitions but that was easliy |
| 5 |
fixed. |
| 6 |
a bug in the installer is that it hangs when installing ssmtp but if |
| 7 |
you want to install the system just install the packages marked GRP to |
| 8 |
get a workign system and boot it and emerge whatever package you |
| 9 |
need.. |
| 10 |
i personally liked the old isntallation method more it gave me great |
| 11 |
experience but if you're in a rush and want the system to just work |
| 12 |
the installer is perfect |
