3. Boot the CD. From the boot prompt, press Enter. (If you are not able to boot the install
medium, press F1 or F2 to see other install options that might help you get going.) Type
gentoo at the boot: prompt to start the Gentoo live CD, or press the designated Gentoo
function key to see other options for running Gentoo.
Gentoo should detect your computer hardware, start the install process, and display a
boot prompt.
4. Set the date. Type the date command to make sure the date and time are set correctly. If
they need to be changed, use the date command (with options) to change them. For
example, to set the date to 8:15 a.m., June 15, 2008, type:
# date 061508152008
5. Load modules. If some piece of hardware was not autodetected, you may have to load
the module you need to access that hardware. Use the modprobe command with the
name of the module you want to load. For example, to load the module for an Orinoco
wireless LAN card, you can type:
# modprobe orinoco
Do a Web search for ???Linux??? and the name of the hardware not being detected to find
out what module to load.
6. Configure the network. Type ifconfig eth0 to see if the Internet connection to your first
Ethernet card is up and running.
