I copied the kernel and modules from the installation cd onto my Gentoo computer last night. That worked out fine. I'm still having problems with compiling software on it, althought I really think it's a problem with the motherboard or processor on the machine. As I don't have another machine right now, I have two choices: I can compile software on another machine, then install it on this one at home, or I can find a way to compile this software on this machine. It runs Linux (and Windows) pretty fast, so I'd like to use it as I want.
