If the 2007 cd worked then use that one. It doesn't matter what cd you |
27 |
start from, only that you get started. For that matter (as people |
28 |
always say) you can boot off of knoppix or the lfs (linux from scratch) |
29 |
disk. The only thing the cd does for you is provide a working linux |
30 |
environment that you can chroot from to install gentoo. |
