Apologies for starting the top posting, |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I had earlier suggested using |
| 56 |
http://www.tecmint.com/gentoo-linux-installation-guide/ and the Gentoo |
| 57 |
handbook side by side. |
| 58 |
The link provided has the option of using the LiveDVD. I do not know at |
| 59 |
what stage the install failed but it might be easier to start over. |
