Gentoo

[David Renström]

Hi Travis,

I successfully installed the Gentoo 2004.0 distribution yesterday. My 
computer doesn't boot from the CD either, so I used the Smart Boot Manager 
that you can download from the net. I'm pretty sure there were releases for 
both Windows and Linux (as well as DOS...). When I boot using this 
diskette, I first hit down arrow six times (the fifth is for my DVD-R 
burner) and then Enter 3 times. I had to do alot of experimenting and 
rebooting to get the correct pattern... :-) You might be interested in 
having sighted assistance when you boot the CD for the first time.

The Smart Boot Manager URL is: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net

Hope I was of any help.

Regards,
/David R.
