I have a 20GB drive and was just gonna use Partition Magic to partition 7 gigs or so for Linux (ext3, I assume?). Then I was just gonna install Gentoo and edit the grub.conf file.
Before all of this, I had Red Hat 9 on there. I nuked it and now have a completely clean install of XP. Hopefully it'll find my embedded 11b card (it's a Omnibook 6100). If not, any suggestions on what I'll need to do there? Joel Brauer wrote: > What kind of suggestions are you looking for? A howto?
