[gentoo-user] Booting Gentoo from a floppy and then chroot to finish install on old PC

[Richard Watson]

Hi - I've got an old PC at home I want to use as a samba server. It
doesn't have a CD drive and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how
to create bootable gentoo floppy. I've been using Toms linux to wget and
re-install the stage and portage files but the kernel is to old and
fails on chroot.

Apart from the obvious comment to buy a CD drive ... Is there anyone out
there that has Gentoo 2.6 kernel that will boot of a floppy and can tell
me how to do it? The only other command I would need to perform would be
chroot.

Thanks, Richard
