have a stand alone PC which has Red Hat Linux 7.0 on it. I would also like to put Gentoo on it too. It is a pentium 2 333Mhz. It is not connected to the internet. I have tried booting from a live CD and installing Gentoo that way but even if I download the files required from the internet, I still don't get very far. So I am now trying to install from Red Hat Linux 7.0. I followed the alternative instructions and got as far as unpacking the tarball and copying the GRP files. But I have found that some of the commands don't work. mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc - returns /proc is not a block device chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash - /bin/bash no such file or directory env-update - command not found emerge sync - command not found In the alternative installation instructions it just says follow steps 6 -17 of the x86 instructions. But if the commands I have listed dont work will this affect the installation of Gentoo and what commands should I use instead???? I also noticed to install the kernel, the instructions say emerge sys- kernel/gentoo sources, but when I used emerge before it says command not found. So how do I install the kernel???

There is a new migration guide being written by spider@gentoo.org that would probably answer a lot of your questions. Hang in there for a little while. If you'd rather not wait, let me know or contact spider and ask for the draft version.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
