# 0. Configuration


# 1. Install Gentoo

 # a. Obtain the latest Gentoo x86 Universal LiveCD. I used this one:
 #    http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/x86/2004.3/livecd/install-x86-universal-2004.3-r1.iso

 # b. If your ThinkPad is already configured to try booting from the CDROM
 #    before the hard drive, boot off the Gentoo CD and skip to step (1c).
 #    Otherwise, power your ThinkPad off, if necessary. With the power off,
 #    hold down the F1 key and turn the power on. Do not release the F1 key
 #    until the "Easy-Setup" (i.e. BIOS) screen comes up. Go into the "Start
 #    up" menu, then select the CDROM as the first boot device (you may have
 #    to highlight the "Reset" option and hit the space bar to clear out the
 #    boot sequence first) by highlighting it and pressing the space bar. When
 #    done, press enter to return to the main menu. Put the Gentoo CD into
 #    the CDROM drive if you have not already done so. Highlight "Restart"
 #    and hit enter to reboot off of the CD.

 # c. At the "Gentoo Linux LiveCD boot options" prompt, enter:

gentoo-nofb nofirewire nousb nodhcp

 #    Gentoo will start the boot sequence. When it finishes, you will be left
 #    at a "livecd root #" prompt.

 # d. Set root password to something that you can remember

passwd

 # e. Configure networking. I am using a Gigafast Ethernet WF721-AEX 802.11b
 #    wireless PCMCIA network card.
