1) Boy did I leave the typos in that one! Those guys who complained about one typo in the elx installer will send this directly to the plonk file <grin> 2) gentoo is still officially billed as a distro for sysadmins. Nevertheless, a lot of sheer newbies are trying it lately, mostly with success. If you have been lurking on this list for a while, know how to partition a disk, and know how to add a user to your system and change your password (or at least how to read the man files, since I can never remember that trick very long), you can do this, too. 3) I'm currently using about 1.5 Gig out of a 5 Gig partition, and I have gnome, kde, and OpenOffice, Netscape, and Mozilla installed (all big hitters for space), so I have lots of room to grow. gentoo leaves the source (.tbz files) for all installs onboard, but you can remove them manually, as I have done. I would recommend 3-4 Gig for your install. Enjoy, -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD?
