Hello !
How may I start to install Gentoo Linux from a floppy (I know the Cd is
bootable, but it definitely WILL NOT boot from my computer).
I suppose the image I've burned (i686) isn't compatible with my Pentium
200MMX :-(
Any idea how I could install ?
Thanks,
Greg, from France

hello
1. search for a single floppy distribution under freshmeat.net
2. start from the floppy
3. make partitions
4. untar stage 1, 2 or 3
5. chroot to the new system
you could search the mailinglist archives for "boot". then you'll find more
information...
