I managed to install Gentoo on a system with a 486sx processor and 32M RAM and 1.4G harddrive. What you can do is plug the harddrive into a newer system and do the install so that the installation goes quickly. You can then plug the harddrive into the old system. I tried using the new install program that is on the 2006.0 release but I had no luck with it on my systems. I recommend using the 2005.1 release and downloading the latest stages and portage snapshots instead of copying them from the cd. ----- Original message ----- From: dalan at visi.com To: "tclug-list at mn-linux.org" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 17:29:12 -0500 Subject: [tclug-list] Gentoo system requirements Does anyone know where I can find system requirements for Gentoo Linux distribution? I'd like to install it on a very old system I have. I am already aware that it may take several days for it to compile on the system but other than the compile time is there any limitation on as to a minimum system it can run on?
