Definitely start with Windows, it makes life so much easier later. I usually partition the drive in two using the XP setup utility (which is pathetic, but functional), installing Windows on the first 4gb or so and leaving the rest for fdisk. Gentoo has about 6.5gb, and any extra goes into the fat32 shared partition. (If I had more space, I'd probably give Gentoo a good 10gb, to leave room for those OpenOffice.org compiles...) -- ellotheth rimmwen * monjoy * -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I did it on my first dual boot, when I kept reading things like "do not install grub into the mbr or you won't get back into windows!!" I have no idea where I found instructions, but if I recall, you just dd if=/boot of=/osshare/linux.bin, and stick a reference to linux.bin in your boot.ini. Or something to that effect.

Thanks, folks. Yes, I have followed the instructions, for both Gmail and sSMTP. (I've actually set up Thunderbird to use Gmail's SMTP server with my two non-Gmail accounts. It's great.) sSMTP is the problem: The clearest documentation I've found for setting up STARTTLS with sSMTP is located in someone's ssmtp.conf on a pastebin-style service. (Read: There is no documentation that I can find.) Scanning the forums and list archives produces a lot of "Yeah, I have that problem too."
