Dear Mark: I am fully booting this system using Gentoo. I have a colorful bash prompt right now and I am trying to get X running. Last night I did 'emerge xorg-x11' and it succeeded OK. Grub has incantations that allow the partition with Gentoo to boot. There are other distributions on some other partitions, but I dont think they have any bearing on Gentoo. Here is the result of "emerge -pv world" on the machine in question. ****************************************************************************************** These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!
