This isn't usually a big deal unless a chip supports multiple architectures, ie x86_64 can run x86 code. But it can't run both at once unless it has the right libs and - gasp - livecd's don't. Some people on the gentoo forums also updated a disk image a little so that they could boot it on their nice new computers. You should be able to find it without too much difficulty on the forums. It's definitely a good thing to have the official releases come out when ready. Buggy discs are a lot worse publicity than being behind schedule. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
