[gentoo-dev] new i586 build iso ??

["S.P.G. Frankema" <frankema@hlkd.azr.nl>]

Dear team,

have been looking at gentoo for a while and decided to try it out.

but fortune is not at my hand.

at home i only have a dail-up connection, so thats no option.

at work  (T-veryfast) i downloaded both the ix86 iso and the 600mb 
i586-build iso.

the latter boots, lets me set the whole thing up (NO ext3 !). but 
following the online or onCD install help i encounter some problems. 
(i think the prebuild is outdated compared to the helpfile). been able 
to continue

but the main problem is.  i cant get dhcpcd to connect to my 
bosses novell dhcp server. it just times out. i've tryed it all. -r / -h 
hostname / ifconfig options..... etc etc.

even tried the newest small ix86 iso (downloaded today) , and tried 
to force emerge to look on the cd etc etc.
but i end up withup a system (cant bootstrap)

so, i'm stuck.
but really really wanna try your work.

1. whats up with dhcpcd ? why cant it connect?
2. any plans for a more up-to date 650 mb iso ?
3. can one get pump updated into the isolinux env?

plz help.
yours c.
