If you have a working Linux install, you don't need to burn (or even download) the Gentoo CD to do the Gentoo install. You can do it all using chroot from your existing Linux partition. You can either read about it and attempt it, or contact me off-list so I can give you my IM contact info and walk you through getting started.

Helloes!

I'm in a pickle. I pickled an inn. My CD-RW drive doesn't do that whole
"W" thing. Every time I try to burn a CD, it just refuses to write. What
it's doing instead is beyond me.

So how's about this: if anyone can burn me a Gentoo 2008 CD and get it
to me at the Avondale stammtisch on 8/19, I will award them a very
special prize. It will consist of:

A) A gallon-size or quart-size ziploc baggie, containing
1) A star-shaped post-it, signed by me (possibly with a smiley face)
2) three (3) pens with two (2) penguins on them and the web address
"TeensOnLinux.org"
B) My heart-felt thank-you and congratulations
C) An optional firm handshake

There is no other prize package like this out there. It isn't easy to
come across an opportunity like this.

Thank you for playing!

PS: I'll probably be the one in the funny hat!
