A couple days ago someone mentioned ArchLinux's ISO - in the interim, |
| 19 |
you *could* use that if you just need something right now. The gentoo |
| 20 |
devs are great, but the ArchLinux devs produce an amazing ISO - it |
| 21 |
supports 32 and 64-bit as well as both non-EFI and EFI boot. Then it's |
| 22 |
just a simple 'dd if=path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdX && sync'. I've |
| 23 |
used the archlinux iso to install Gentoo since forever purely for this |
| 24 |
reason. |
