[gentoo-user] 2006.0 - no universal anymore? (use LiveCD?)

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I am moving my son from FC2 to Gentoo today. I went to get an up to
date universal CD and it seems that there isn't one. Is the preferred
stage 3 method of install these days to use the LiveCD and then just
go to the console and work like the old days?

   Currently I'm ssh-ing off all his old stuff as back. If someone
knows of any problems or things to be careful about when working this
way drop me a note back on or off list.

Thanks,
Mark

I'm not sure of the major differences between the liveCD and the
Universal CD.  I think the Universal CD just contained mored packages
(portage snapshots, etc.).  I saw the "definitions" of each CD
somewhere yesterday, but can't seem to place my finger on it now.  I
think the only difference is that you have to download the portage
snapshot from the web (which isn't a bad idea anyway).  The
Installation Handbook covers this.

Thanks. By the time I saw you message I had already managed to build
and reboot the machine. It's up and running but no networking yet so
still to solve that one but at least it's Gentoo now.

Thanks again,
Mark

Have you tried modprobe'ing the module you might need for your NIC
(3c59x)?  Then running `net-setup eth0' from the install CD?  I had an
issue similar on one of my Sun systems, but was able to get it up that
way.
