When you boot up CD1 of the 2 CD set it shows right there on the welcome screen after completely booting up, instructions for loading in the installation document into the text based browser. Those instructions are almost the same as the ones on the website... but it did mention that the more recent version on the website should be referred to if in doubt. I had all four consoles going with F2 showing the installation document and F1 actually in the chrooted environment... the other two were in use for doing the copying tasks etc. > > now short of actually coming round and doing it for you, these should > > do the > > trick. > > I too am finding these postings wearisome.

I needed the power supply to get another machine back up and running quickly. It didn't die in vain though... I've gained experience to put into practice on my next gentoo build... which will be real soon and the P4 in the corner with SuSE 8.2 on it is looking a bit nervous.
