Mmore importantly, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-* |
| 20 |
files should have this listed. There are a lot of machines now, |
| 21 |
especially notebooks, that don't have a CD and/or DVD drive. I do |
| 22 |
remember asking devs for the default isohybrid feature. I just |
| 23 |
downloaded a amd-64-bit install iso, to update my rescue stick. The |
| 24 |
64-bit install also worked. Do you want me to file a bug on bugzilla in |
| 25 |
the documentation section? |
