Xandros doesn't have the tools necessary to install Gentoo. I used an |
| 14 |
eeeXubuntu CD, which has a script to create a bootable flash disk. Boot |
| 15 |
fro the CD on another computer, run the script then boot the Eee from the |
| 16 |
USB stick. |

it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way |

is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. |

The first method is far more difficult" -C.A.R. Hoare |
