One othe quick question
3. I have several linux O/S's on separate (individual) partitions which I'm
using grub to boot. I have all the other O/S's in a single "/" partition
(including /boot) & sharing a common /home partition
Gentoo refers to needing a separate /boot partition, can I configure it to
have /boot in it's "/" partition, currently I get errors when gentoo boots
and trys to run "fsck"
heres my partition table (hopefully it makes this a bit clearer):
