Just decline to create the /boot partition and don't mount it when clled for during the install. After installation is complete and before rebooting, eliminate the line in /etc/fstab for the /boot partition. You may need to do something with grub on gentoo as well. Since I mave multiple distros, I don't do the grub work recommended in the gentoo install, but rather add the gentoo boot stanza to my existing grub menu.lst. < How many partitions can you have on a > somewhat new 80 GB disk?

I don't remember what the limit is for logical partitions. I use logical partitions for most everything. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? - Code Python gentoo(since 01/01/01) now 1.4beta kernel 2.4.18+ ext3 GCC3.2 xfce-sylpheed-skipstone _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
