I must have stored that 2004.1 LiveCD somewhere very safe, because I couldn't find it after I had a quick look. o_O However, the gentoo website still shows the full installation handbook for 2004.2, including stage 1 bootstrapping. In addition to the FAQ link you can read the step by step procedure here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.2/handbook-x86.xml PS. I assume you want to install it on a x86 machine, otherwise go here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml and scroll down the page to find your architecture. PPS. Depending on your machine bootstrapping can take some time. Make sure you md5sum -c the stage source file or you may have to rinse and repeat due to a corrupt download. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
