As has been said, the installation CD does not need to be specifically |
| 16 |
a Gentoo cd, although it seems worth repeating that it _does_ have to |
| 17 |
support the same architecture. This isn't usually a big deal unless a |
| 18 |
chip supports multiple architectures, ie x86_64 can run x86 code. But |
| 19 |
it can't run both at once unless it has the right libs and - gasp - |
| 20 |
livecd's don't. |

Some people on the gentoo forums also updated a disk image a little |
| 23 |
so that they could boot it on their nice new computers. You should be |
| 24 |
able to find it without too much difficulty on the forums. |

It's definitely a good thing to have the official releases come out |
| 27 |
when ready. Buggy discs are a lot worse publicity than being behind |
| 28 |
schedule. |
