2005.1 new cool installer, works?

No just this one.
Is there any possibility of me installing this experimental version through the LiveCD as is?
Some more info:
I am Selecting 'Stage 3' and checking the 'GRP Install' and 'Dynamic' boxes
Would it be better if i selected a different stage and supplied a Tarball URL?
Also, i am (obviously) using the 'Normal' portage setting, where it runs emerge sync to get a local copy
would another setting and/or providing a Portage Snapshot URL fix my problem?

Ok so i have started the installation right (hopefully)
I noticed with your install profile you didnt select anything such as GNOME or KDE
Eventually, i want these
is this gonna be like straight up command line or what?

Caused by '-pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' that you added in your installer_profile or what?

Hello
I know that you will have a base system without x after a install, and i use this cd for a 1/3 for the second time. I like it becorse you can use the box under the installtime(20-24 h).
Here is a dum n00b question,
Can i go on and install x and gnome befor i reboot in to my new gentoo, or must i first boot in to it to be able to install x and gnome?It should be be wrey handy to just configur x after boot and fire up gnome or wat ever wm you use. as far as the totol compil time is 30-34 h on my athlon-xp 2400.
Thanks
Bertil

trying this today, and mine stops at:

Activating udev
Making tmpfs for /newroot
Attempting to mount CD:- /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

cant do anything, not even ctrl+alt+F?

I have tried booting gentoo kernel and gentoo-nofb twice with stop at exact same place.

Anyone have any suggestions??

I successfully installed with a vanilla souce kernel...but now I can't boot due to wrong kernel name in SuSE grub!

Anyone know what the kernel name should be? I have tried /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 and various combinations of /kernel-vanilla-sources-2.6.11...

I didn't know it would bork at graphical environments. I was sitting here wondering what was going on! oh, and what is emerge -k mean? and emerge -k -l is another setting that the installer uses. What do they do? I'll remember this for later. Oh, and by the way, it does indeed emerge X properly, but that's all you're going to be getting.

I wanted to point out that version 0.2 of the installer has been released along with a new LiveCD. Most (if not all) of the bugs mentioned in this topic have been fixed. Check out the FAQ at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/faq.xml for more information on how to get it.

Have you seen this Gentoo RR4 live cd? It looks like you can do a single click install.

Version 2.65 looks quite stable, but no vi?!

Hello all!

Whilst reading an article at osnews I got the impression that an experimental version of gentoo is available ready with an installer package apparently at vs. 0.2!

Has anyone have any ideas on where should I look for it! Is it available on the usual mirrors! If so what should I look for and where could I find it!

Any ideas on the specifications for that version of the distro! ie! Is there a stage 1 and 3 available? If so what are the portage specs for each! Does it have to be compiled from scratch or can it be used just used just as a live cd? How does one deal with portage in this version? Does it work on ppc and 64bit platforms? Is there a manual for the installer? When will gentoo be distributed with a default installer if ever?

U know the usual dumb questions!

I'm trying to install the experimental version of Gentoo 2005.1 on cd. Heres the error I get during automated install:

Merged above post.

What it means is that you are probably better off not using experimental stuff.

I've read the first 3 pages and indeed, I think the manual install does teach you a lot. Haven't tried the installer, and probably won't, but it looks nice. Once it works fine it might be able to convince people to change to Gentoo

. And indeed, I was always satisfied when my install -FINALLY- worked. There has always been something that didn't work the first time :p network, sound, getting games to work, whatever. But it's so much fun to try to get those things to work, also I learned from it every time. Never learned so much about linux by installing Gentoo. Same goes for windows, everyone SHOULD be able to install Windows as it's basically clicking "next", still some people screw it up... Those people probably never will (be able to) use linux

(unless they're prepared to put some effort in it). Thank god this forum is so helpful, both for searching & asking.
