Nope, the CD does not install because there is a bug (looks more like a huge 'Baagh' than a bug :( Ref : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7 Quoting**** Note: Running emerge gentoo-sources will fail due to a bug with the Universal Installation CD. Please make sure you run emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1 instead. This has no further effect on your environment as Portage will automatically download a more recent kernel source when updating your system (after the installation). Code Listing 2: Installing a kernel source # echo "=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1 ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords # emerge =gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r1 Quote end************* The above also does not work, not even with 'r1' substituted with 'r3' as is in the CD. --K.Ghosh 093 910 58 749 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux user No.301508 -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
