Alternate Installation of Gentoox 4 Home from Distro.rar
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 4:45 am
For users that may have had problems with installation I will explain a alernate install procedure. Works for Install on top of FatX for E
The original Boot image when on the CD is called Distro.rar
There are other utilities that have the ability to read the discs that you have created. If your Gentoox Installation has problems or wont fully install from your media try the following.
Complex's Tools Package, as a APP has the ability to Dearchive a RAR file.
the Complex Tools Utility has a very persistant read operation and as such can read and dearchive the rar if you are having problems with boot media.
Complex tools can dearchive the RAR to a folder, then the contents of the folder can be moved to the root of E with other file management utilities.
Then the loader will be present on the root of E with the Kernel.
It will now Boot Gentoox Linux from a Dearchived file system on top of FatX.
Best Wishes to everyone
