 |
|
Hi,
I installed gentoo1.1a in april, and haven't gotten it to work yet. I guess reinstalling is the easiest, but I don't want to  I no longer have the ISO to boot from it, but I'd like to boot from a bootfloppy, does anyone know where I can get one?
Thanks. |

I think someone should release a Gentoo-Boot disc (boot, network).

Yeah, it's the Gentoo installer/rescue CD. It's 16 MB, for kernel, lots of networking stuff, and associated utilities (wget, ssh, scp, ping, etc.). If you can come up with a way of getting 16 MB (25 MB decompressed, actually) of data onto a floppy disk, let us know. |

What if your system doesn't have a CDROM drive? Like a Laptop. I guess we need just a disk to boot from and the disk d/l the rest from the net.

| The thing is, any working networked Linux bootfloppy will work. (Well, almost any.) If your box has enough RAM, you can do pretty much anything once you get a networked Linux kernel on it. |
