No offense, but based on the silliness of your first mistake I highly recommend you do a stage3 install.
You need to download one of the livecd files, which end in .iso |

If you know how to download Gentoo, then you MUST know there is a handbook that goes into great details on how to install it: Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3!!! Download and follow the instructions on it and stop the "BUMP" thing!!!

This shows me that you didn't read or didn't understand the handbook.
| Code: |
2.d. Download, Burn and Boot a Gentoo Installation CD
Downloading and Burning the Installation CDs
You have chosen to use a Gentoo Installation CD. We'll first start by downloading and burning the chosen Installation CD. We previously discussed the several available Installation CDs, but where can you find them?
You can download any of the Installation CDs (and, if you want to, a Packages CD as well) from one of our mirrors. The Installation CDs are located in the releases/x86/2005.0/installcd directory.
Inside that directory you'll find so-called ISO-files. Those are full CD images which you can write on a CD-R. |
Can you explain which part of the above you don't understand?
| Quote: | | if all things are there in the handbook aand everyone can understand from there and install it reading that .....then wat people doin here in the forum |
Lots of things. Some people use the search feature to find out if their problem is already solved. Some people run into specific problems not already dealt with in the documentation or in the forums. And some never bother to read the Guidelines or read documentation, but merely post away and demand support as if it were something they were entitled to.
| Quote: | | i have used too many forum but have't seen this type of ill behaviour with noob's |
Read the Guidelines and act accordingly. So far you have not convinced us that you're not merely lazy and demanding. If you tell us what you have done to find a solution to your problem and can ask your question in a way that's precise and to the point, you'll find people much more willing to treat you respectfully and help solve your problem. If that's too much trouble you're welcome to go back to other forums.
