Hi, I was using RHL 7.3 till today, when I upgraded to 8.0. I found the user interface too mushy and so after some reading I am thinking about going for gentoo.
My main problem is that the installation docs at gentoo.org does not have any instructions for installing with multilpe OS's. I obviously do not want to use the command # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdxy bs=1K count=1 Is there any how-to for installing on a box with windows. I obviously have way too much data to loose, so I dont wanna screw up the installation. Keeping this in mind, how do I configure my /, boot and swap partitions without overwriting my windows tables and also how do I configure grub to recognise my windows boot loader I also want to know if the gentoo distro in september DIQ cd is good enough for a working installation complete with, importantly, Xserver and c/c++ libraries including openGL libraries. Does gentoo support rpms at all?, which will enable me to install some important libraries/programs from the rhl cd's TIA, -Prashu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
