Could someone help out a Gentoo/Linux Newbee? I have downloaded the most recent install of Gentoo availible for install. I burned the install files to CD and tried to boot with disk and have had no luck.

Now I'm not that familiar with the linux file structue, but the structure on the CD only seems folders that contain files... So nothing for my system to boot from...

So can someone either give me very clear and consice instructions on installing Gentoo or point me to a page that would assit a newb in installing Gentoo...

Thanks for your help!

The boot loader on the CD wont be visible to you, just make sure that you have set your BIOS to boot from CD.

How did you burn the CD? What program(s) did you use?
