Hello, After trying every both minimal and liveCD for 2006.1 with a K6 machine and the various options, such as gentoo-nofb acpi=off nox and nosmp. NOTHING worked.
So I tried a mininal x86 CD from 2005 with these options: gentoo-nofb acpi=off nox and all it booted to a root promt.... I cannot seem to find the corresponding installation instructions, you know fdisk mkreiserfs /dev/hda2 Mounting the Partions: mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot chroot.... for a minimal x86 2006.0 or 2005.* installation? Going from my (fried-limited-dysfunctional) memory is not really a good idea... I did find the old handbook for 2005, but it was for using the liveCD... Anyone have a link to an old copy of a minmal install where everything is done by hand, chroot, setting up the make.conf, /etc/resolv.conf..... and then completing the installation via the internet connection? Something I can download, as a rough guide? It seems that 2006.1 has abondoned the (K6) arch..... Googling turns up lots of links but not a guide to a minimal install using an older installatoin CD. The machine is going to be a minimalistic server, just for DNS. thoughts and suggestions are most welcome. -- [email protected] mailing list
