Hi group,

I was intending to use the 2008.0 live-install CD as a chroot platform
on a 900A EEE. Gentoo refers to the 2008.0 series as 'deprecated'. For
good reason: there's no ppp, no atheros wifi or eth0 support, BUT it
has lvm2 which I need. This makes it much more difficult, since I
cannot even connect to the PC let alone dial out or connect
wirelessly.

Can somebody recommend an alternative, preferably non-debian; I have
had no success with several versions of that particular OS. Support
for my wireless hardware is included but attempts to connect always
lead to IIRC "no persistent database" errors, even on completely
insecure networks.

Maxim.
