gentoo 1.4 installation (or how to install from a livecd ?)

Hello,


I would like to try the gentoo linux distro. 


I've first try to start with the gentoo-xi86-1.2.iso and tried 
to install it
into a thinkpad 600. I've no problem until tryig to reboot 
it ... But it's
just a problem of my kernel I think. But, I also want to 
install it on
my firewall and want to know if you plan to add 'adsl-setup' or 
any
other help program (as dhcp-setup) for configuring a machine 
behind
an ADSL modem ? Or any help section in the installation guide 
on how
to get configuration from my ISP (as I need to enter user name, 
passwd
etc) ?


Second, I would also like to install 1.4 instead of 1.2 but I 
do not understand
at all what is your 'livecd' ? Where is the installation guide 
for installing gentoo
with the rc1.4 livebasic cd ? I could not find /install* files 
as in the rc1.2 bootable
cd ? Must I install rc1.2 first and then try to upgrade to 
rc1.4 ? or is there a way
to install directly rc1.4 ?


Thank you very much
Laurent Marzullo
