Thufir,
For good or ill, or maybe both good *and* ill!, Gentoo is basically an
experts-only distro.
(And STOP RIGHT THERE, flame-writers -- read the rest first.)
Gentoo gives absolutely *awesome* power, but *This* *Thing* *Is* *Dangerous* --
it is a loaded *and* *cocked*

There is no installer for Gentoo. You boot from a LiveCD and type commands
into a shell. That's how Gentoo is

formating the fat32/vfat partition to ext3 (or whatever gentoo uses).

The Gentoo Installation CDs are bootable

Thufir,
I think the point you may be missing here is that there is
NOTHING graphical about the Gentoo installation. It is nothing
more than a very carefully crafted set of text
I'm looking at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=2#doc_chap3
and have a few simple questions. currently I have a dual boot system,
with fedora core 3 and windows 2000.
will gentoo show the different partitions and ask which ones to
install on? will it show VFAT,
Gentoo doesn't ask you what to install anything on. you install Gentoo
on the partition of your choice. You can, in practice, install Gentoo
on any partition type supported by the installation kernel and run it
from any partition type supported by your custom kernel.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks Peter. While I know that VFAT permissions are far fewer it
hadn't occurred to me that you actually couldn't do an install to VFAT
due to those differences. (Not that I'd ever try, but it's good to
know.)
There were some distros that
