AFAIK Gentoo's cds don't have 2.6 yet. But, if you have another linux box handy, you can create a custom livecd by using the livecd-ng script. This is installed on a Gentoo system via the ebuild app-admin/livecd-ng, and then you just feed it a list of Gentoo packages you want the cd to have and a kernel .config file, and it makes you a nice ISO. (Disclaimer haven't tried myself, but that's how it's supposed to work ;-) So you could extract a Gentoo stage3 tarball (ie tarball with a base system precompiled), chroot into it, and do the above. -- Dan Armak Matan, Israel Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key Fingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951
