Quick Question

[Adam Page]

Installing gentoo 2004.0 should i use the minimal or universal install disc? And what are the steps going through to install? I got to some live cd prompt command and had no idea what to do.

depends what level of optimization you would like to get
if you download precompiled packages, they wont be compiled with your needs
if you take the portage tree and stages off the universal cd, they wont be has updated has the ones you can download off a mirror

well i've got the universal cd, but the question is what do i put in once i get to the "dos-like" live cd command or whatever?
