Hey guys,

I'm searching an image of gentoo 1.4. The Problem is, that I have an old PC and all new versions (since 2005) have Problems with my Hardware. I've made the experience with debian, that a 2.4-kernel works better, so I'd like to test that. But I don't find such an old version? Is there some image somewhere in the web? I would be happy about that...

You are better off finding out what exactly the problem with the current cd is, and going from there. When you do a 1.4 install, it will end up downloading all the newest packages anyways.

What exactly is the problem you have when you boot to a current cd?

You can find Gentoo 1.4 stuff here :
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/historical/x86/1.4/

But if your hardware is not compatible with the Gentoo CDs, then I would suggest using a KNOPPIX CD to install Gentoo, because KNOPPIX has excellent hardware compatibility.
