I'm not sure about how successful Gentoo would be installed on a low spec system, but as for your visibility problem, you could try booting with the "nofb" kernel (from the grub prompt), or using the monitors inbuilt controls to move the image "up" so that you can see the bottom.

Hi there,
I would like to install Gentoo on an old Toshiba 300CDS with a Pentium, 40Mb RAM and 2GB hard disk. The handbook mentions a minimum of 64Mb of memory in order to install Gentoo. Has anybody been successful installing Gentoo in such or a similar system?
Another issue... after booting with the Gentoo LiveCD and loading the gentoo kernel, I only can see a portion of the entire screen, and the bottom (including the current command line) gets hidden below the bottom of the physical screen. Is there any kernel option to avoid this?
Regards Jose
