[Nottingham] Gentoo on Very Old PC!?

[Martin]

Folks,

I'm about to experiment with Gentoo...

The first problem is that the target machine cannot boot off the HDDs in
there (yes, it's my old LAN-party server, with the cd custom isolinux
bootup).

Does the Gentoo installer from the LiveCD offer to make a boot disk?
(And also have the image fit into the 1.44MB of a floppy disk?)


(Yep, the i686 requirement is ok, the PC has an old P3 CPU.)

((And this is prompted from an urpmi update, itself prompted by an rsync
version update, that then clobbered libc.so.6 for something that various
critical programs suffer missing symbols for... :-( ))

Thoughts welcomed.

Cheers,
Martin
