there are 4 compressed files which need to be copied. after copying 1 of them, Knoppix became confused, so i rebooted the Knoppix CD, unbz2'd the file & copied the next, then repeated the process 3 times till everything was in place. after that, it was possible to pick up from the Gentoo install doc. an alternative wb to install another Linux -- eg Slack/Mdk w dft specs -- , then use that to make appropriate part'ns & copy & decompress the files. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
