 LiveCD old? Hello, I downloaded the file http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/d.../releases/x86/ 2004.1/livecd/install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso, burned it and booted from the burned CD. To my surprise, I was welcomed to the Gentoo Linux 2004.0 LiveCD. Why isn't the version number 2004.1? Thanks for your help. Wolfgang      |

Surprise again: my network card (NE2000 compatible PCI) wasn't autodetected. I entered modprobe ne2k-pci and got lots of error messages about undefined(?) symbols. To me, this seems like something is wrong with the CD, though I'm not sure. I'm getting annoyed. Wolfgang |

Perhaps you got a bum download... Alternatively, you could try the older 2004.0 LiveCD - which is what I used to build a machine a few weeks ago. Once you get it up and sync'd with the main portage tree (as opposed to the static snapshot that's on the CD), you'll have the latest software anyway. (right?) |

| Re: LiveCD old? Hi, > you'll have the latest software anyway. (right?) AFAIK this is right, personally I use the old 1.4 rc1. Roch stable for me, detects even nforce-onboard-nics. If you get your stage-tarball from the net, your up-to-date. Greetz Florian |

Could this be a remnant of bug #49287? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49287 It sure seems that way. It's a harmless bug, but a bit confusing. -- PeKaJe Microsoft products are easy to administrate. Anyone can do it! Even if you don't want them to ... -- Jim Richardson, in COLA |

Use the Knoppix CD instead and don't blame Gentoo too much for some possible bugs on the live CD. No special Gentoo CD ist needed for installing Gentoo Linux. Or use an older CD as some people adviced you. You only need a running Linux which has an internet connection and is capable of a chroot.
