Okay. So, I'm new to linux. A dev bud of mine suggested that i do an install of gentoo to begin my learning. Issue is, I can't get into the install interface. My Gentoo Installation Livecd disk is in. My new harddrive is in and recognized. so.
It says: "Gentoo Linux Installation LiveCD http://gentoo.org Enter to boot; F1 for kernels F2 for options boot: " so, I want the basic kernel. I hit enter or type gentoo and hit enter. it says: "Loading gentoo..................... Loading gentoo.igz.............. Ready. _ " and the cursor blinks. and blinks. and blinks my yearning-for-linux heart away. This is something of an old box. circa 1999 or so. Used to run WinNT. It has a 160 gb HD (new) and the ATA/133 pci card needed for the HD to recognise. 512ram, pentium3 processor. Any more info on this or ideas working towards a solution are greatly appriciated. -phil -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
