hi,

i can´t get gentoox 3c on my box

when i install it from disk ; after 98% decompressing appears : crc failed. and the installation is canceled.
what can i do ?

is it necessary for installation to have an empty e: or f: drive ? because there are some files on it

thx for answers

crc errors are in relation to file integrity (Cyclic Redundancy Check), to put it bluntly the file is rooted/stuffed/unusable/broken etc..

redownload is the only option - sorry

thx fuz

and what about the space ; must the partition be empty ?

does not need to be it will only install what it needs to and should not effect existing files (providing its not a native install)
