have to start some where...

coming form Mac OSX,
and downloaded the ppc 32 bit installation and packages iso. of Gentoo 2006,
burn two cd-r

however, have a snag in the install, is there a how to install
on Mac G4 , running a quicksilver with 512mb and a 60gb hard drive,
and nvida 32mb video card. all standard equipment.

Do I need to wipe the Mac Hard clean first?
or can Gentoo install do that?

The suggested method of using the OS X installer to partition the hard drive 
would wipe out your files.  You may want to back up your user directory 
first.
