A full Gentoo install is 20G. I have 10...

Contents 1 Let's do it. 2 Reboot 3 Reboot 4 Reboot

Let's do it.

• Nice graphics. That you have plenty of time to admire: it's really slow to boot.
• Installer greets with cheap music... Happily, the music player stops soon after (crashes?)
• Installer crashes, inactive cursor top of lack screen? No other console available.

Let's get myself a drink, give it a chance while I run upstairs... F**ck.

Reboot

• Can't find proper video mode, reboots in console mode (at least Ican follow...)
• Select keymap
• Music Fails with amixer complaining... Then starts anyway. Urgh.
• Switching to X11 with openGL...
• Goes KDE!!!!!

AAAaargh... Life is a bitch and then you die. Forget a live KDE with 1G of Ram.

Reboot

Can't do anyhting with KDE. one more time... 64bits kernel still in limbo with console fonts.

Hilarious: boot in Live mode, there'sn't a thing to install Gentoo. Notice that e16 is on board.

WICD can't work with my WPA-protected wireless.

Reboot
