I've tried installing it twice using "knoppix26" to boot, after getting into the live environment I did a uname -a and it indeed said I was running the 2.6.5 kernel. However after using "knoppix-installer" and using the beginner mode hardware detection which is a new addition that redetects all hardware each reboot yet everything else is the same (not a knoppix style install). after booting into my installed system uname -a says I'm using 2.4.26

Could it be that using the beginner mode is messing it up? I might try installing it debian style but I think you get the most flexibiliy from the beginner mode.

I really appreciate all the work the developers have done and the helpfulness of these forums thanks all of you.

Yes it is! Slashdot ( http://slashdot.org ) found out about the release. Look at the number of leachers on the tracker ( 2125 and growing as of this post ). <sarcasm>Good thing there are only 251 seeders!</sarcasm>

This is my best Tuesday for quite some time now.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Does anyone know when it will be available at the mirrors? Right now I cannot use bittorent.

The link already available is literally "infested", and leeches with 4kbps.

So long team - once again, THANK YOU!

I wonder if they are using NPTL? If not I'm strongly considering trying to remaster (never done it before)

I don't have the download complete yet, but anyone who does, can you try this:

If you see NPTL .... then it does. NPTL seems to help quite a bt in the overal performance of Gentoo on my laptop, so I might try to add it in to the 3.4 cd if it doesn't have it.
