I would like some bootdisk besides a CD for those of us who don't have CD
burners. In fact, it would be really nice if I could just rawrite the ISO to
my future root partition and boot it from there, but there aren't very good
instructions on how to do this.
One of the reasons I like Linux so much is that it's free at best (free as in
beer) and at worst is cheap. But it won't be cheap if I have to buy a CD
burner just to try out a cool-looking distro.
I'll probably have this solved (for myself, at least) by the time you get back
to me, but at least provide a couple of shell scripts or something for one of
the many bootdisks already out there.
Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Hi,
I'm trying to put together a list of anyone involved in Gentoo
documentation, developer or no. The list is currently terribly
incomplete so if you are currently working on gentoo documentation
please send me an email with your real name, your email address, your
irc nick, your "thing" (whatever it is you do do) and a list of any
documents you are maintaining. If you were maintaining a document at
one time, but cannot maintain it any longer, please write me and let me
know.
If you don't currently work with docs, but have something to contribute
consider yourself on the team. Send a resume with the same information
I mentioned above.
Check out the list here:
http://www.gentoo.org/~meekrob/doc-team-list.hmtl
You can also check out my plan:

I recently managed to install Gentoo on a laptop that had no cd-rom and
only a USB floppy, the laptop did have a built in eepro100 though.
I had to create my own custom floppy that just brought up enough of the
networking system to download the i686 stage 3 tarball. I extracted and
chrooted and it worked!
I do believe its possible to create a single disk installer for Gentoo
for a specific ethernet card/chip.
