The laptop I am using needs to be repartitioned, so I dumped all the contents into an external. I thought I would use the opportunity to try out 2.6b9 as most feel it is stable enough (and fast as hell it appears). Another side effect is that I can also compile with better cflags than I did before I gathered new information. I know I don't have to reinstall just to do these two things, but since I am repartitioning and essantially starting from a clean disk I thought it good opportunity.
I guess the question becomes, does a installing from a 2.4 livecd, stage1 install have any disadvantages over using a 2.6 disc, when set on using a 2.6 kernel. As I alredy have a 2.4 disc burned, if it makes no difference, I would save my time and skip downloading a new disc. * Donnie Berkholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [11-01-03 14:19]: > On Sat, 2003-11-01 at 06:16, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Wondering if it is better to start from scratch with a 2.6 kernel > > live CD, or if it is possible to install gentoo, and a 2.6 kernel > > starting from one of the older CDs that I already have downloaded. > > If you want to install from 2.6, more power to you, but I don't really > see the point.
