If you have broadband, then fall back to installing gentoo manually. I have had nothing but problems, similar t yours, with both the live-cd and live-dvd. Neither one finished to completion, however, the failed live-dvd install left just enough system on the target harddrive that I was able to finish up the install manually. Who ever thought these live disks were good for installing from... well... it isn't. That said, the Knoppix Live-DVD installs flawlessly to hard drives. Jerry. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
