Gontran, I've been wanting to try out gentoo for awhile now and I have access to a cd burner. The problem is that it's on one of the G4 machines at GCC and I don't know how well Apples Disk Burner software performs. From what I've been reading it doesn't allow you to make a bootable disk. Is there a way I can still burn the gentoo-ix86-1.1a.iso but use another method to initially boot the system other than the netboot described in the alternative installation methods doc? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
