Okay, I attempted to install Gentoo 1.4 today. I managed to get the partitions okay. I had several problems that arose:
1. I could not automatically configure the Network connection with net-setup eth0. I think this is Comcast's fault since they make it difficult for Linux user's to connect online. They only support Windows and Apple users. Any Comcast users who were successful in connecting with the internet? 2. Since I had the LiveCDs, I did not worry having a network connection. Or so I thought. I tried to extract the Portage snapshot from the CD. Unfortunately, I do not know what datestamp of the filename is. Where can I find this? 3. The other problem that arose was when I tried to get back into Windows (I have a dual-boot partion). I could not since I was always brought to grub. Eventually, I had to reboot from the Windows XP CD and delete the grub partition (plus the other partitions). Is there anyway I can avoid doing this in the future? I liked Red Hat's grub and I am hopefully that after fully installing Gentoo 1.4 that there will be a similar grub. Until then, I really need to get access to my files in Windows and Dreamweaver. It was a bit frustrating but I think once I get the datestamp problem figured out, it will not be a problem. Like I said in the subject, this has been an interesting learning experience.
