Hey.. I have a problem.. I downloaded Gentoox Home 2.1 and unpacked Stardust.xbe and distro.xbe
then i copied all the files from distro.xbe to my E: and made a shortcut to gentooxx.xbe from Evo X..
But when i ran Gentooxx.xbe it aksed for my resolution and started linux up.. it did not install it.. it just started up.. i wathced the WATCHME and in that movie it installs.. What am i doing wrong?

if its the first time ur starting up you have to set the resolution... once you do you wont need to again

Okay.. but whÿ does it not install? It just starts up Linux right away, and does not have a install process as in the video...?

If you copied the contents of the distro.iso to e you are all set (no need to install) If on the other hand you want to run Stardust as an installer burn the stardust.iso to cdr-w and boot that.

I have installed both pro & home (many times in the last couple of days :lol: ) by just copying over the contents of distro.iso. I only needed to install from stardust as I wanted to do a native install on f.

I hope that helps.
