Hello, |

|

I have read that the LiveCD is dead, no mas, ka_put_ski. |
4 |
|
5 |
|
6 |
So I wondering when the installation docs (gentoo handbook) |
7 |
will be modified for Chapter 2: Choosing the Right |
8 |
Installation medium? |
9 |
|
10 |
Many of the other installation methods (alternative to the G |
11 |
Handbook) also require CDs, stages and snapshots. |
12 |
No 2009 profile yet? |
13 |
|
14 |
I have seen this page as a recommended (on this list) method |
15 |
to install Gentoo: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page |
16 |
|
17 |
Maybe a quick list of instructions how to use it to |
18 |
install gentoo? Maybe a boot-floppy and then get |
19 |
everything from a usb stick< for older i586/P1 systems? |
20 |
Many of the older machines I install gentoo on, do |
21 |
not support usb booting directly? |
22 |
|
23 |
Hell, for that matter, I do not know what to tell somebody |
24 |
new to Gentoo, to use to install on a computer now-a-days? |
25 |
|
26 |
|
27 |
Currently, I hack my way through using 2005 and 2006 |
28 |
minimal CDs until I find a combo of files/drivers that |
29 |
work for an old x86 arch (K6 and such too). |
30 |
|
31 |
|
32 |
I'd like to learn how other folks are performing Gentoo installations |
33 |
these days. I just used a 2007 minimal cd without incidence, but |
34 |
that seems to fading as a viable offering. I never had any luck |
35 |
with 2008* cds. |
36 |
|
37 |
|
38 |
Maybe a list of really simple steps on a usb stick? or a home-made |
39 |
catalyst CD? Particularly for old 586 and pentium 1 machines. It |
40 |
seems every install on an old x86 arch is a "random walk" to |
41 |
get to a minimal working machine.... They do make excellent |
42 |
firewall and DNS servers. |
