Do you have a copy of the Gentoo Handbook that you can look at as you install this?<br>You can view it online at <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml</a>
<br>Follow the instructions in that and it's fairly straight forward.<br><br>Once you've burned the CD you boot it like any other liveCD, yes.<br><br>There are a few different gentoo liveCDs and DVDs available for x86, each of them gives you different options for installing, but assuming you have a network connection just follow the handbook through, and ask if you need something clarified. In general though, the handbook explains things pretty well.
<br><br>Some of the liveCDs have a graphical installer - don't use it. I'm not saying that just to make life difficult, the graphical installer was intended to save time for people who know how to install gentoo, not to make it easier the first time you try. It seems to complete some steps, but not others (without telling which), and generally just causes more problems than it fixes. More than that, it's very buggy - I've heard quite a lot of complaints about people who've lost their partition table because of it. So, avoid it like the plague.

<br> hi,<br><br> So once i burn it it will boot<br> like gutsy or feisty ? I know<br> there are many options in gentoo<br> and install can be quite confusing.<br><br><br>
