Section 3 is Installation from non-Gentoo LiveCDs.
Section 4 is Diskless install using PXE boot.
Section 5 is Installing Gentoo from an existing Linux distribution.
Take your pick! =:^)
Thanks Duncan,
Though, now that I have my USB 3 external hd, which has Debian
installed, now working with wireless internet connect, I am thinking of
trying to install Gentoo on a partition on an internal hd... but having
other options with some guidance is more reassuring, & could be very
helpful (& what I was looking for, though I might just try Marks'
suggestion, too, thanks Mark). One other thing I have been meditating
upon, is that I have a UEFI bios... (Windows 8), I did install an MBR on
the external disk, with grub on it... & when I boot, in legacy mode,
from it... grub works... so thinking I might be able to update grub,
after the Gentoo install, & (hopefully) use grub to load the Gentoo
system... Grub would not install in the UEFI, & the directions to boot
from it, with Linux, are a bit complex for me at this stage... (will try
to work that out too, eventually).
Regards,
Henry
