 Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:55 pm Post subject: Installing Gentoo on an Asus E200H machine |
 |
|
| After booting a live-cd on an Asus E200H, neither the keyboard (both X and without X) nor the touchpad work. I am completely clueless what to do because I cannot even run a few commands to track down the problem. Can it be that the problem is related to the fact that the keyboard is internally connected via i2c? |

phara92,
Welcome to Gentoo
You can install Gentoo from any live media that works. None of the code on the boot media goes into your install.
You must boot a 64 bit kernel to perform a 64 bit install, that the only constraint.
Try System Rescue CD as starting point.
Its Gentoo based and has better hardware support than the Gentoo live CD.
If you have a USB mouse and keyboard, they would get you through the install.
Hmm, you mention X ... the Gentoo liveCD does not have X. Which liveCD are you using?

I recommend installing gentoo with the help of a puppy linux live USB/CD, you can easily chroot into your new install, while having a browser open reading the handbook. |
