Re: Installing pure64 from scratch
Excellent, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try the Knoppix boot CD
and see how that goes. Luckily I have a different machine running
Gentoo AMD64 (for now) on which I can compile a 64-bit kernel for my
Debian AMD64 box.
And thanks for all the work on the pure64 distro.
