Subject: [gentoo-user]  installing an amd k6
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 19:29:05 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20060912T211342-565@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Hello,

After trying every both minimal and liveCD  for 2006.1 with a K6
machine and the various options, such as gentoo-nofb acpi=off
nox and nosmp. NOTHING worked.

So I tried a mininal x86 CD from 2005 with these options:
gentoo-nofb acpi=off nox 
and all it booted to a root promt.... 

I cannot seem to find the corresponding installation instructions, you know

fdisk
 mkreiserfs  /dev/hda2
Mounting the Partions:
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
chroot....

for a minimal x86 2006.0 or 2005.* installation?

Going from my (fried-limited-dysfunctional) memory is not really 
a good idea...

I did find the old handbook for 2005, but it was for using
the liveCD...

Anyone have a link to an old copy of a minmal install where
everything is done by hand, chroot, setting up the make.conf,
/etc/resolv.conf..... and then completing the installation
via the internet connection? Something I can download, as 
a rough guide? It seems that 2006.1 has abondoned the (K6)
arch.....

Googling turns up lots of links but not a guide to a minimal install
using an older installatoin CD.

The machine is going to be a minimalistic server, just for DNS.

thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.
