| Wow!!! That sounds the perfect solution. Is it possible? I just compile a |
| 15 |
| 64bit kernel and chroot will be possible? Is there a place I can download the |
| 16 |
| kernel from? |

You can boot off of the cd and build a kernel immediately or you can copy the cd's kernel. When booted from the cd, the kernel is found at /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/gentoo-em64t and corresponding modules are in /lib/modules. The install cd and stages are available from the /releases/amd64/2005.1-r1/ directory on the mirrors. |
