Ah, I do this all the time. |

Use knoppix to boot your target mmx system into a viable linux. |
| 12 |
Follow the handbook and get the system so you can ssh into it. |
| 13 |
Run 'lspci' and note what hardware you have, for building a |
| 14 |
kernel later on. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Once you go chroot and grab the tarballs |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
(Code Listing 2.5: Unpacking the stage |
| 19 |
# tar xvjpf stage3-*.tar.bz2 ) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
and |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
(Code Listing 3.4: Extracting the Portage snapshot |
| 24 |
# tar xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Continue to follow the handbook. |

It's kind of funky, but, gentoo does not really support |
| 31 |
it's own install media anymore. I think it's |
| 32 |
some sort of test, to see how thick your |
| 33 |
skin is..... |

Understand that we now have "autobuilds" but the docs |
| 38 |
have not been updated to reflect those changes yet. |
