| 297011 | 2004-11-28 10:38:00 | IIRC it _is_ on JSG Realm..... So yeah, 4.5mbps ;-) Download: www.lxnay.scarlet.nl This is about 85MB - A tiny download you can have done in 45 mins easy! Download it and begin install :-) Then just follow the online documentation |

| 297012 | 2004-11-28 11:05:00 | Yep, downloading now. It's 110MB - how come so small? Anyway, 56 mins to go... Might have to wait till the morning :(. Damn school. Sadly, I can't dind it anywhere on JSG - only have Debian there it seems. But anyway we're at 6% already so no complaints. I assume it is an ISO inside that .TAR.BZ2? If so I'll burn it to CD tomorrow and install on a Cel 333 I have waiting for it :). Thanks for the link Cheers George |

| 297013 | 2004-11-28 11:14:00 | Linux: Rute User's Tutorial (www.icon.co.za) is some dowloadable reading material for you George. Must get back in to it myself, have had a couple of false starts. There's everything you need to know in there somewhere. |

| 297015 | 2004-11-28 21:55:00 | Because - Once you've done a Stage 1, Stage2, or Stage3 Gentoo Installation - You'll have a Bash Prompt, Kernel, Compiler, and one or two other things.... Its then up to you to emerge kde, gnome, openbox, xfce4 etc as you see fit. |

| 297016 | 2004-11-29 05:02:00 | For some sad, sad reason, Firefox didn't want to resume the download. Server didn't support it I suppose? Anyway, what a waste of 30 mins. Downloading again now @ 2% so far. Reading all the guides right now. I'll probably be back for more help once I get it installed. Cheers George |

| 297017 | 2004-11-29 05:46:00 | Firefox doesnt support resume does it? I'd use getright from Windows, or D4x from Linux. Give us a yell if you get stuck. You should be able to use WinZip to extract the ISO. I wouldnt know, as Ive only used Linux before with it ;-) Cheers Chill. |

| 297018 | 2004-11-29 07:06:00 | Yes, I have it downloaded, used WinRar to extract to a .ISO. Going to try with Virtual PC now :). |

| 297019 | 2004-11-29 07:54:00 | Bah - It'll be slow as! You wanna run it as a normal OS so you can get to playing with CFLAGS etc later on :-) Speed........ |

| 297020 | 2004-11-29 08:13:00 | Mm, but this is all going on in my bedroom, on my PC. I don't want to haul up another PC into my room, plus a screen/KB/mouse - hell, I don't even have enough room for them. When I actually install it properly it will of course be on a real PC, but right now I'm just experimenting. It runs fine though... Anyway, any suggestions on whether to do Stage 1, 2, or 3? I have the downloads of them all ready, but which to choose. Do I need the stages before it? IE: If I chose Stage 3 do I need 1 & 2 as well? Also, would my Celeron D come under x86 or Pentium 4? For Stage 1, x86 is the only option but Stage 2 & 3 you can choose. Cheers George |
