Re: [gentoo-user] Create a new grub only partition? Lookingfor ideas.

[brett holcomb]

The LiveCD is built to boot from and has - as far as I 
know - a full system on it along with a stage1 tarball 
that is copied for a stage 1 install.  Give it a try. You 
just need to get a system up  so you can fix grub.

Another alternative is Knoppix which gives you a full 
system that boots from a CD.  Download it and burn an iso.

To be honest if you can boot from a CD using a floppy is 
kind of futile.  There was some discussion several months 
earlier about the unsuitablitly of Tom's root boot disk 
for Gentoo work.

Why not use a Gentoo LiveCD and boot from it.  It's got
everything you need to run a system.

Brett,
   Is the LiveCD the same things as the Stage123 install 
CD?

   I suggested this possibility earlier but one 
responder said it wasn't
built to do that. I booted from the Stage 123 install CD 
last night to play
around with this idea. My thought was I installed grub 
from that CD in the
first place. It must have enough on it to make this work, 
if I could find
the right set of command to give it.

   Maybe we could come up with a document about how to 
use one of these CD's
to repair a system? I'd be up for helping on that.

Thanks,
Mark
