I booted it twice.
The first time with
Code:

gentoo64

Worked alright.
The second time I tried
Code:

gentoo64 docache

It (of course) takes quite a while to copy everything.
But login to the desktop freezes kde.
I have 4 GB RAM in my box so there's enough room for it IMO.

My normal uptodate Gentoo works fine so I don't think my RAM has bad parts.
I don't use swap.
I'll run a memcheck.

You dont have to follow those directions, follow these directions at the beginning of this thread, i plugged in the 8 gig stick, and formatted it to ext 3, and do this as root from the location of the .iso ,

Code:
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/<DEVICE>
# Do not point to a partition

If you're using windows, download unetbootin, and create it with that.

I also tried
Code:

gentoo64-nofb docache

Same problem.
Then I tried
Code:

gentoo docache

I got an error no space left.
I guess the 32-bit kernel cannot handle 4GB RAM.
When it finishes it says on the terminal something like
Code:

You can start the installer by typing "installer" at the prompt below.

When I do this I get
Code:

bash:installer command not found

I'm in a hurry now so please excuse me if I'm posting a duplicate; I searched for the term but didn't find it. When I try to play the 'Word Order Game' or Kanagram (for my son, who I think is becoming a Gentoo convert), this error message appears: 'File is not readable', and it doesn't work.

you don't need to format the partition ahead of time, the hybrid iso actually will create necessary partitions for you.

@gerard82 there is no installer, that text is going to go away on next testing iso.

@gerard82 there is no installer, that text is going to go away on next testing iso, also running memtest for an hour won't really guarantee you have stable ram. I have found issues with memtest after 7 hours at times. I usually let it run overnight when testing ram stability.

Also Xorg freeze, same as ArneBab, and suggestion from comprookie2000 not working for me too. My netbook is Lenovo Ideapad S10-2 (see http://ru.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Lenovo_Ideapad_S10-2 for hardware information).


I see you have a working installation to the hard drive. Could you paste your xorg-server version and if you are using an xorg.conf that also, please include the link to those, thanks.

The livedvd does not contain an installer. I would suggest if you want to install Gentoo to follow the handbook and use the autobuilds.

I see there's OpenOffice.org (binary) and GOffice included, but no KOffice. Could you add KOffice to the LiveDVD as well?

Hehe, I'm going to use it as my home system until I get a new laptop ...I plan to make an USB key my home directory and this way use the laptop I borrowed as my home comp in the mean time :]

If there was also KMyMoney installed, I'd be very happy. But I suppose that's my personal need :P

Since I assume more of these will crop up: Any chance of adding a mechanism similar to Puppy Linux, where people can modify their System and store the changes on a partition on the computer?

Can I just emerge on a Gentoo 10 Live USB-stick?
(I assume I should use a normal disk for /var/tmp/portage/...).

I tested with qemu.
Code:
$ qemu -cpu coreduo -kernel-kqemu -cdrom Desktop/livedvd-x86-x86_64-10.0-20090926-1952.iso -m 256 -boot d


The problem is that it returns to first vt after loading kdm. I tried /etc/init.d/xdm restart, but same result.

Slightly OT ...if I take out the disk from my previous (lately dead) laptop and plug it in as an external disk. Will it work, if I just make a user on the LiveDVD and point my old home dir on the external disk as the home dir of the new user?

If that'd work, it'd make my life ever so more pleasant until I get together enough money to buy a new laptop...

You'll likely need to adjust the users UID, so he's being recognized as you.

Why from DVD and not from USB stick?

Disappointing.
USB stick is fine and basic boot is fine.
But tried on 2 machines in both cases X fails to start.
On the IPX system I can see a terminal screen and X is trying hard but failing with memory allocation problems in the intel driver.
On the EEPC 901 could not get back to a cli.
Both machines normally run X.
I will try to compare logs and report how to fix, but not this week as I am tied up.

It was missing from the amd64 kernel by accident but later today there will be a new image for both arches with bug fixes and added artwork. You can download the x86/x86_64 iso then boot with gentoo64 which has IA32 enabled.

If both machines are already running X, you should try using their xorg.conf on the livedvd, just boot with 'gentoo nox' and copy your xorg.conf. This livedvd is in testing mode now and since it contains xorg-server there might be issues but it seems to be booting for most users.
