Description pander 2003-10-22 13:20:32 UTC 
I cannot boot from Gentoo Live CD 1.4 anymore, probably because of OSX upgrade to 1.2.8. I have 
Debian GNU/Linux testing for powerpc on my PowerBook G4 12"but needed to boot from Gentoo 
Live CD 1.4 to do some maintenance but it will not boot anymore. It starts booting but after 
getting somewhere into the boot process after selecting live or live-failsafe, it simply stops

this iso solves that problem:

I'll try to have that iso on the mirrors asap.
