Yes you are right. Thanks for clearing that out. I misread the first section of Chapter 3. The in livecd-amd64-installer-2006.0 is located in releases/amd64/2006.0/livecd on the mirrors in opposition to my statement in my earlier replies. Actually I just downloaded the x86 version yesterday because I wanted to see it. It is neat that you can actually do some real work on the computer while installing with the old methods using the new installer cd. :) Seems to me that the have picked the greatest possible approach to this. -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
