Ok, I understand that fact, but it wouldn't hurt to have some info or even a HOWTO on gentoo.org or the gentoo-Wiki for current CPUs, listing some kind of table like CPU | target system | Core2Duo | 32bit | 64bit | livecd/arch | i686 | amd64 | or similar. I tried to find something like that for quite some time, I assume not to be the most stupid guy out there, but wasn't able to find something telling me explicitly how to start and which media to use. Just a minor note ... Thanks again, Stefan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
