I'm about to cry.

Ok, I'm TRYING to install gentoo. I WANT to use teh instructions found here:

http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-user/2002-March/005549.html

My cd-rom doesn't boot the cd, but it reads it. I'm using winxp, and I want to use genttoo on another pc. How do I install tom's thing if I don't have a dos prompt?

secondly, WTF does:
Boot from the linux floppy, run fdisk to make your disk partitions,
and run mke2fs to build a filesystem on at least one of them. Mount
that partition on /mnt, mount the cdrom on /cdrom, and then copy the
kernel and rescue.gz files to /mnt. Now, unmount /mnt and /cdrom and
boot from the grub boot diskette as above, specifying the appropriate
disk and partition via the "root" command.

THAT mean?

I'm installing gentoo because mandrake is sucking.

Perhaps try following this how-to: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=82

The concept is the same.
