The only thing I would add is that I dont know of a gentoo-designed way to start from a bootable floppy rather than one of the gentoo cdroms. Although, I am sure its just a matter of downloading for example a rootboot disk http://www.toms.net/rb/ configuring your network, disks, downloading which ever stage you wanted to start from, and then chrooting like you usually do. This would have to work, because if you can chroot from another hard disk based install, you should be able to chroot from the floppy. In fact, I'm actually suprised no one has made a floppy sans stage files etc to boot w/ then dl the rest from there onto the box's hard drives. kev -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
