Ron,
   Put Gentoo in its own partitions and then under Mandrake modify
lilo.conf basically duplicating the Mandrake setup but using the Gentoo
partition numbers. It should be pretty straight forward as long as you
already are dual boot with Mandrake and Win XP.

   You might consider switching from lilo under Mandrake to grub under
Gentoo. I personally think grub is a little more straight forward, but
they will both do the job just fine.

Good luck,
Mark
