Hello, I have read that the LiveCD is dead, no mas, ka_put_ski.
So I wondering when the installation docs (gentoo handbook) will be modified for Chapter 2: Choosing the Right Installation medium? Many of the other installation methods (alternative to the G Handbook) also require CDs, stages and snapshots. No 2009 profile yet? I have seen this page as a recommended (on this list) method to install Gentoo: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page Maybe a quick list of instructions how to use it to install gentoo? Maybe a boot-floppy and then get everything from a usb stick< for older i586/P1 systems? Many of the older machines I install gentoo on, do not support usb booting directly? Hell, for that matter, I do not know what to tell somebody new to Gentoo, to use to install on a computer now-a-days? Currently, I hack my way through using 2005 and 2006 minimal CDs until I find a combo of files/drivers that work for an old x86 arch (K6 and such too). I'd like to learn how other folks are performing Gentoo installations these days. I just used a 2007 minimal cd without incidence, but that seems to fading as a viable offering. I never had any luck with 2008* cds. Maybe a list of really simple steps on a usb stick? or a home-made catalyst CD? Particularly for old 586 and pentium 1 machines. It seems every install on an old x86 arch is a "random walk" to get to a minimal working machine.... They do make excellent firewall and DNS servers.
