Fortunately I had some older Gentoo install discs and looked through them until I found one that worked: 2004.1 r3 I think. I'll have to look when I get home. I did some quick searches and couldn't find any ISOs for that disc, so I can make an ISO from the disc (I think it's a minimal install cd) and get it to you somehow. -- - Mark Shields

I didn't look hard enough: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=install-x86-minimal-2004.1.isobtnG=Google+Search I bet the 2004.1 install disc, which google returns some mirrors for, will work. First result should give you what you need. Hope it helps.-- - Mark Shields
[gentoo-user] 2006.1 install on AMD k-6 ?
Hello, I have an old AMD-K6 200MHz system with 196 M of ram that I'd like to make it into a DNS primary server. I've tried the x86 livedCD 2006.1 to install, but after trying to load the image, it just reboots. I ran memtests for a very long period of time and the ram looks fine. Indeed Knoppix 5.0 boots very slowly, but just fine and runs a full gnome interface, slowly but correctly, so I know the Ram/cpu is fine. What's the best install CD to use to get this k6-200MHz machine installed? It will not be running X so maybe an older minimal CD is more friendly to old amd K6? maybe the x86 2006.1 liveCD is not the best choice? Suggestions are most welcome.
