I don't see the point of this 2.6G LiveCD if there is not installer, if I have to install it from command line why would I need this livecd I can do it using any of gentoo cd's, using current stage
So ?? where is installer ??
Any way 10.1 worked fine on my Lenovo T61p. |

The LiveCD is big because it contains a lot of packages. |

Happy birthday gentoo, and here's to another 10 years of greatness.
I've tried everything from ubuntu to freebsd to fedora to debian, and I still stick with Gentoo as my main OS. |

"10 Years of Compiling"
There's no point in having an installer...Gentoo is about customization, and that cant happen with an automated installer.
To mix both GUI and customization...lot's of effort needs to be done.
Gentoo is used by cream Linux users. |

In fact, the best way to install Gentoo is with the cli period. |

In fact installing the LiveDVD to a USB stick and carrying that round to boot from when you're at a computer that you can't install to is the ideal tool IMO and wouldn't ever require an installer as its not designed for that.
Get the LiveDVD onto a USB stick using sys-boot/unetbootin _________________ "Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do." - Donald Knuth |

As far as I know it is just a LiveDVD and not for installation. _________________ Gentoo on Uptime Project - Larry is a cow |

I know it's a small gesture for all the work you guys put into the Gentoo distro, but i wanted to pay my deep respects to all of you. I have been using Gentoo ever since 2003 and it is without a doubt my distro of choice for almost all situations. I've used it on workstations, media centers, embedded systems, industry-grade computers and, if i remember correctly, i had it booting on a mobile phone once too.
Gentoo fits almost any situation because of its immense scalability and tailored nature. I simple love it! And i love you guys for making it! Keep up the good work! |

Thank you for the fine compliment.

Yes it can be installed to a hard drive with a little effort. Checkout the FAQ page for instructions. |

Linux Journal Article reviewing Gentoo's history and current state of play and an inteview with developer Matthew Summers.
Mod edit: Corrected Matthew's surname (he may be Smart, but his name is Summers).

I went to the local tip a few weeks back and disposed of two boxed versions of Suse which lived on my computer before I changed to Gentoo (via Slackware which I downloaded when I first connected to Broadband!). CO2 comparisons are not always as straight forward as they seem, when you consider how many boxed sets of different distributions are created, distributed and then not bought (because they have been superceded), but disposed of.
Gentoo has been (and continues to be) a revelation - I have not had to reinstall since 2004, I can run all the software I want, either as stable or unstable version and I can tune the system to suit my needs. Previously I have run into dependency hell when installing some new package which wasn't yet included in the release set from Suse, and Slackware, leading ultimately to the need to reinstall fresh to get out of the problem.
So, Happy Birthday Gentoo, and thanks to all the developers past and present for their efforts and achievements. May Gentoo live to see many more birthdays! |

I had a "first install" on my x86 box that lasted since mid-2003.
It would still be going today, had I not upgraded to an amd64 box last year. _________________ If ~amd64 ebuilds are cutting edge, then git-9999 ebuilds are chainsaws.

I've only just replaced my first Gentoo install from 2002, and would have migrated the old OS, but figured it was easier (but not impossible) to install from fresh as I was stepping up from x86 to x86_64. _________________ "Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.

As we can see on the linux mag article, the stable branch is a little bit behind, but the others distro are binary, so it's normal IMOO. |

Hello, is there a way to buy LiveDVDs of our preferred loved distro?
Distributors listed on gentoo.org site are almost out of date (is it possible to update and renew links?). _________________ Il numero di post non fa di me un esperto! Anzi! |
