I hesitate to proceed before I understand how Gentoo handles partitions, however. will it bring up a list of partitions similar to:
1 FAT32 2 ext3
and then I enter "1" to format the first partition, and then similarly select "1" install gentoo onto just the one partition?
`cfdisk` will give you a list not dissimilar to this. You can safely boot to the Gentoo LiveCD & run `cfdisk` to view your current partitions without endangering them - `cfdisk` takes an active selection of "Write" before it alters your partition table.
Stroller.
