I have read many posts on message boards about compiling Gentoo from stage one on dial-up connection and know this was succesfullyh done by many Gentooers. However I just canot seem to find starting point for myself in this my situation. I have downloaded and burned stage one on the CD. I did a partition for Gentoo, which I don't even know if it is an actual partition. Partition Magic marks it as anallocated space. When I do df, Slackware doesn't seem to want to recognize it, I mean it actually doesn't see it. Or am I wrong? Ok, what's the command to gibe Slackware to display all my partitions? I know that have five of them, MBR ( is it even a partition? -- at least Vmware see it as a partition, I'm not sure. I have NTFS partition with Win2K, extended, 2 Raiserfs, and one swap. What't up with this unollocated space where I want to install Gentoo? Should I make partitions first? Can I do it with Slackware? Also, I have heard that I have to chroot in to my " pseudo" partition in order to install Gentoo? Anyway what I'm probably looking is a walk through with respective commands I should give and brief explanation what they're for. Also, when do I need to install mu modem drivers which I tested with my LT Winmodem, if I need to install wvstreams from source or they're included in tarball, etc, etc. Dummy newbie wants to know. Thanks everyone for anything you can contribute.
