Re: [gentoo-amd64] New installation, what to think of?
if you already have a 32bit gentoo there, then you could always use it to setup your file structure, and config files. Also, when I upgraded, I just left my grub(grub has be compiled 32bit) in /boot. So technically my 64bit system doesn't have a boot loader. :) I get a few complaints when I compile a kernel, but otherthan that I haven't had any problems.

Yep, I have an old 32 bit gentoo installation on my disk (using lvm2, and I really hope there are no surprises for me in that area) File structure? Exactly what do you mean by this? Are you refering to partition information from /etc/fstab? It's late and I feel a bit stupid... Also, when I upgraded, I just left my grub(grub has be compiled 32bit) in /boot. Won't portage take care of doing that right for you? Thanks to you who have answered so far! /Andreas OT: Found out that my PSU cables can't reach the ATX/P4 sockets... grrr! And everything was closed down today (easter celebration)... hopefully I will find extension cabling tomorrow... I wanna start compile stuff... and hear the silence (the previous box was a real PITA when it comes to noise levels) -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
