 |
|
Hello There!
I am a new user to Gentoo.I recently downloaded Universal Instal CD ppc (32 bit) version.
I have
AMD Athlon Xp 2400+
512mb RAM
ASUS Motherboard
Using Windows XP Professional SP2
I will start from beginning
I downloaded the iso file.Burnt it in a CD.
When I restart my computer having the Gentoo Cd on it, the boot screen for installation doesn't appear and forwards to
Windows XP
I have already set the Cd ROM as the first booting device.
Help Me!
I really wanna use Gentoo!!

PPC = PowerPC (macintosh) 
fetch the x86 CD. or is this an amd64 (64bit) CPU? in this case, the amd64 CD is your friend. |

I imagine that this should help you much.

Maybe you should reconsider wanting to use Gentoo and try an easier distro? |
