Hi friends,
sorry by maybe stupid question, but I'm a little confused with the LIVECD or minimal CD that I have to download to install Gentoo in a Laptop Satellite U205-S5057 whit Intel Core 2 Duo Processors for 64 bit?
Some experience before?
Thanks in advance
Sigfrido

I did, but something is wrong, I´ll comment soon.
I can start with Windows Vista [32 bit edition], editing GRUB comand, it 
is because I wrote in my grub.conf  (sda0.x) and changuing it to 
(hda0,x) the Windows vista run fine.
Gento can not run yet, nut as soon a have more time I will try it again.
Thanks again

Yeah, grub never uses sd* names, always hd* and always in the order 
presented 
by BIOS (as opposed to Linux, which presents them as they are discovered 
through device probing with names dependent on the module/subsystem).

You can probably use grub TAB-completion to determine the correct (hd*) 
setting.  Generally, your boot partition will have a vmlinux or vmlinuz 
file 
on it. So, the workflow would go something like:

GRUB> (hd<TAB>
0 1
GRUB> (hd0,<TAB>
0 1 2 3
GRUB> (hd0,0)/vm<TAB>
GRUB> (hd0,1)/vm<TAB>
GRUB> (hd0,2)/vm<TAB>
vmlinuz vmlinuz.old vmlinuz-gentoo-2.6.19-r2 vmlinuz-gentoo-2.6.18-r6

At this point you know your /boot partition is (hd0,2) in grub-speak.

If don't have a dedicated /boot partition, and instead it's part of the / 
filesystem you'll want to look for boot/vmlinux or boot/vmlinuz instead.  
This may work even if you have a /boot parition, since some 
ditros/administrator put a symbolic link "boot" to "." in /boot when it's 
on 
a partition by itself.

Double check,  On my Intel Core Duo I don't have 64 bit extensions - 
look for em64t in cat /proc/cpuinfo IIRC.

I personally used the minimal cd to install, but I'm also a person who
uses stage1 installs :P
basically, livecd=noob and minimal=tech

I wouldn't recommend the minimal cd at all if you don't have console
experience (partitioning, text editing, unpacking packages) because a
typo can make your computer unbootable.

If you have Visual Studio 2005 (even vc++ express edition), compile
this code to check for em64t:
/* check_em64t.c */
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    unsigned __int32 reg;
    __asm {
        mov eax, 80000001h
        cpuid
        mov reg, edx
    }
    if (reg & (1 << 29))
        preintf("You have EM64T support\n");
    return 0;
}
/* EOF */
Email me if your version of visual studio is express or pro/team edition
i'll reply with specific compilation instructions
