Problems w/ Gentoo install
I've posted this at the Gentoo forums too, but I figured I might as well post this here as well, since this problably gets more traffic, and it could be a general problem. Anyway, I downloaded the .iso file for gentoo from the servers (http://adelie.polymtl.ca/releases/1....86-1.4_rc4.iso), I used Nero to burn it to blank CD (File -> Burn Image -> select image -> Write), and then I put it in the test computer, boot it up, and boom!, "No Operating System Found". It is bootable, right? Oh, and to calm any fears, the CD is the first thing checked on bootup. Now, I'm a bit of a newbie, but I'm also broke, and I figured if I'm going to use a free distro, I might as well use a good one, even if a bit complex, so you're bound to hear from me again. Anyway, this is some beginning, so I'd appreciate help.

Have you rooted around in nero to be sure you make an iso correctly?
