It sounds like the size of your root partition might be too small. What size (in GB) did you make root, swap, and home? I'd never try and install Gentoo with less than a 4 GB root, assuming I wanted much on it. Plusm Gentoo needs room to work when doing your compiling, which is a feature of Gentoo and source based distros. If you don't have much space, I recommend Slax as one of the best "small" yet feature packed distro. There are other good ones too. Robert Crawford -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
