Ping me off list > if you like. Pretty simple- create a filesystem on the spare partition, mount the Gentoo CD and the new filesystem, cd to the new filesystem, unpack the stage1, 2, or 3 tarball of your choice from the CD into the new partition, and chroot to your Gentoo partition. Then you get to start downloading the portage tree, bootstrapping, building a new kernel, and having fun seeing what packages are there (my favorite ebuilds for KDE CVS will probably never make it into the portage tree).
