Subject: [gentoo-user] installing an amd k6

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.
