Will a Knoppix CD see your network? You don't have to have a Gentoo CD |
| 28 |
to install Gentoo. I did mine from a Mandrake OS. I have done it from |
| 29 |
Knoppix and some other CD before. As long as your network works and you |
| 30 |
can chroot, it should work fine. As long as memory isn't a issue. |
