Description Antonio Rotundo 2006-06-01 03:52:31 UTC
When I try to install Gentoo with latest CVS (24 May of this year) of Gentoo Linux Installer (in art GLI), appears this error during installation process:

Can you provide your installprofile.xml?
Comment 2 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-01 09:16:00 UTC
It appears that you are using the modified version of the installer from the RR4 LiveDVD. We cannot provide support for this.
