More Gentoo pre-beta news
As a follow-up on my "While waiting for the next Gentoo release" post, there is some more news. While elsewhere an impatient Gentoo user has released his own unofficial LiveCD for i686, one of the Gentoo/MIPS devs has released experimental 2008.0-beta1 stages for Cobalt and SGI MIPS hardware. Our RelEng team is still working hard on getting the official release prepared.

fyi: i tried to install today using the LiveCD for i686 but i ended up with a partition or filesystem (ext3) which was unreadable to grub. therefore it wouldn't install. also different versions of grub, from an external ubuntu boot, were not able to read the partition. doing the same install process from ubuntu, using ubuntus cfdisk and mkfs.ext3 worked fine and i was finally able to boot gentoo.
