Hello, I just used the amd64(experimential) livecd to attempt an installation. Here's where it failed: Exception received during 'Performing bootstrap: Stage 1ERror: FATAL: stage1: Boostrapping failed! Should I have chosen another option other than the stage1 tarball?
The gentoo developers currently reccommend that you install gentoo from a stage 3 tarball. It does install faster, and is much less likely to have problems like bootstrap failure. I'm not sure, but the gentoo installer is likely only tested properly when installing from a stage3 tarball. -- Calvin Walton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
