Anyway I'm good with the section:Booting the X86 or AMD64 Live CD(s). The last instruction is: Now continue with Extra Hardware Configuration[EHC]. The EHC section is no help. So I checked the help on the CD1 and found 2 references to image files: 'If you have an ISO-CD-ROM image file on CD2 its name will end in (-cd2.iso or -basic.iso)'.

Hi Hoyt, That cd image root# is the command prompt... it's waiting for you to start issuing commands. Which commands are explained in the installation docs on the website. Having recently gone through my first install, the best advice I can give you is follow the instructions *very* carefully. Make sure you understand what you're supposed to do. Some of the concepts presented can get very complicated, so give yourself plenty of time and be (well, try anyway) patient.

Now, this might prove controversial amongst my listmates, but if this is your first exposure ever to linux, you may want to install Mandrake or Red Hat (they have gui installers that guide you through the installation) and play with it for awhile to get to know linux.

Good luck. b Thanks for the comments. I have tried RH, Caldera, Debian, libernet, knoppix. So I'm not completely lost, however I dont have anyone that speaks linux. Therefore I dont understand a lot and just because I have attemped to install all of the above dosent mean that they all worked. Libernet did work but ultimally failed to entice me. I was attracted to gentoo because of the excellent documents but have already found an area where the language is unclear. For instance gentoo uses Network to mean Internet and I always thought it ment a Network of computers not necessarly connected to the internet. The learning goes on but its hard.

I strongly recommend you have the install instructions on the Gentoo web site available either on a second PC or in printed form. You almost certainly won't get through a Gentoo install without them. Go step-by-step through these instructions.reading carefully every step of the way.

If this isn't the appropriate place to ask these questions, what is? I'm trying to install Gentoo on my new computer - P4, Intel D865GBF motherboard, IDE disks. It's time to compile the kernel. The system boots from the hard disk, and root can log in, with a kernel compiled using the default config, but DMA isn't enabled for the disks. The 'Enable IDE DMA if available' config switch is on. Why isn't DMA? Where is the map between NIC cards and module names? I've been told this motherboard is unstable with Linux unless you compile your own kernel. Is that true? What do I need to do in 'genkernel --config' to make it stable? When I run the memtest from the Live CD, it dies in pass2. I tried it with both sticks in, and with both sticks individually - but the huge compiles do just fine with 'top' saying 90% of the RAM is being used. Explanation(s)? How can I run memtest without the Live CD? The x86 install instructions from the website are very well done. Is there a kernel config page? If so, where is it? -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I tried it with both sticks in, and with both sticks individually You may have a problem with your RAM even though it doesn't show up under regular use.

To do it you'd need at least two partitions, one for Mandrake and your data and the other for your new install of Gentoo. You'd then prepare your Gentoo partition, mount it, extract your stage tarball from the iso image (mounted with -o loop) to the Gentoo partition, chroot to it and continue with the installation guide. This sort of installation is a bit of a pain in the rear-end, and I don't suggest you attempt it unless know exactly what you want to do from the beginning and are sure you have enough space on your partitions to be able to do it. Once the base installation is done, you'd then want to move data according to your desired partition layout and get rid of that unnecessary Mandrake stuff! ;-) See the Alternative Installation Guide for more details about how to install from a previous distro.
