I went through a new install process this week, using Kubuntu liveCD, |
| 22 |
and indeed the original documentation applies OK. |
| 23 |
Only one minor notice : the part about using 'mirrorselect' will not |
| 24 |
work, as this tool will not included in an alternate liveCD, so you |
| 25 |
will have to select the mirrors manually (check the syntax beforehand, |
| 26 |
maybe). |
| 27 |
Also, obviously, you will not be able to use genkernel and |
| 28 |
automagically compile kernel (there could be other ways ?). |

Cheers. |
