1 | I don't know if this is the proper list to post this request to. I've |
2 | been using linux for a dozen years, and am capable of reading and |
3 | following instructions. But, after a lot of dicking around, I still |
4 | haven't been able to modify a CD boot image get Gentoo to boot from a |
5 | USB stick. For my netbook (look ma, no CD) I ended up booting Knoppix |
6 | from a USB-stick, and installing Gentoo from there. |
7 | |
8 | There are quite a few machines without CD drives being sold today, but |
9 | none that I'm aware of that won't boot from a USB stick. I believe that |
10 | USB-stick images, rather than CD images, should be the default |
11 | distributed boot images on the mirrors. And think of all the CD's that |
12 | won't end up in the landfill, after an install image is used once. |
