What is the problem installing Gentoo from a different liveCD, e.g. Knoppix,
|
| 30 |
then?
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
As I've said in a earlier email, they are good at making live CDs, take
|
| 33 |
advantage of it, Gentoo's repository is good and suits the need of people who
|
| 34 |
want choices and customisation, take advantage of that too.
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
What extra do you archieve if you install your Gentoo from a Gentoo LiveCD
|
| 37 |
instead of a Knoppix CD? None!
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Stop binding you mind to the concept that "I have to install a Gentoo from a
|
| 40 |
Gentoo CD", it's not true, start looking at a broader perspective.
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Installing Gentoo from other LiveCDs/distros is just as easy as installing from
|
| 43 |
a Gentoo LiveCD: fdisk, mount, chroot, and emerge. All of these steps are well
|
| 44 |
documented too.
