Howdy. I'd like to give Gentoo a try on my newest server. The server
isn't doing anything critical at the moment so it's a good choice IMHO.
Frankly I'm sick of RH9 and its library nightmare. The box is co-loed
about 2 hours away so physical access isn't as easy as I'd like. This
eliminates booting from a CD as well. I'm shipping a new SATA drive over
to this place next week to install in one of the hot swap bays. I'd like
to install Gentoo on it. Is it possible to install Gentoo onto that new
drive remotely without booting from a CD and/or bringing down the machine
as it is now?
I've never used Gentoo but I've been reading up on it. It sounds like an
distro that's right up my alley. I thought trying it via User Mode Linux
but I've been unsuccessful at getting UML to compile. More library woes
if memory serves me correctly.
Any pointers on how to make this attempt successful would be gladly
welcomed. Thanks
Justin
