Wow. That was fun, and interesting, and I learned a bunch!
I just wanted to report a successful, functional Gentoo install on my iBook. I started some time friday morning, and worked on it whenever I was a) home, b) not doing yard work, and c) it wasn't still compiling something or other.
I installed the 2.6 kernel, on a ReiserFS partition. I somehow managed to configure yaboot without making OS X un-bootable (HFS+ partition), and have a "file exchange" partition in HFS for my MP3s, and any other files that need to go between the two systems.
I would love it if you could write a howto on your process if there is not already one available. My biggest question is how you were able to resize your OS X partition without losing data. I have been trying to find a way to dynamically resize OS X partitions but don't know of any software that can do it. I would like to mess around with linux on my iBook but I don't want to trash my OS X installation.
Thanks,
Carl
