It doesn't matter what cd you=20 start from, only that you get started. For that matter (as people=20 always say) you can boot off of knoppix or the lfs (linux from scratch)=20 disk. The only thing the cd does for you is provide a working linux=20 environment that you can chroot from to install gentoo. --=20 Eric Martin Key fingerprint =3D D1C4 086E DBB5 C18E 6FDA B215 6A25 7174 A941 3B9F --------------enig6E62C1D3F251A383021DA1A8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiDX9AACgkQaiVxdKlBO5+CLACeJCfBvIAHEY5bEHF6emV6L+GA 574AnjkajtUdwtBioVmjm5N1lwTCbZqk =rN1u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6E62C1D3F251A383021DA1A8--
