You don't have to have a Gentoo CD to install Gentoo. I did mine from a Mandrake OS. I have done it from Knoppix and some other CD before. As long as your network works and you can chroot, it should work fine. As long as memory isn't a issue. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Centrino 2 -- Have to wait?
Hey list, I have just received my new notebook, a Dell Latitude E6400. Of course, I now want to install linux on it. The problem is that the Gentoo minimal install cd recognizes neither the ethernet nor the wireless cards. Is the network card in this laptop (an Intel 82567LM Gigabit network controller) supported in the newest linux kernel or will I have to wait? If it is supported, how would I go about booting with a newer kernel? Regards, Jan Seeger

As long as it has rsync, tar and chroot, you can use it to install Gentoo. -- Neil Bothwick It compiled? The first screen came up? Ship it! -- Bill Gates signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If it is supported, how would I go about booting with a newer kernel? If you can find any Linux boot CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc) that can get you attached to your network, then you can use that to install Gentoo. Check Alternative Installation Method in the Gentoo installation manual. Alternatively, there should be a linux driver for your ethernet controller on Intel's site. If you can download it on another machine and copy it to your new one, maybe you can compile load the module during the installation. Good luck! Paul
