First, you'll need to wait for Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc4, because the current version is incompatible with AMD K6 processors. However, burning the CD from Windows should work. Possibly this is due to the K6 incompatibility? 1.0_rc4 is coming soon; that should work for you. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
