With 63 partition limit for IDE disks and 16 for SCSI's, and with plenty of tools freely available to resize, move, create etc. a media; why wipe-out a debian installation, just to test another distro? If you're concerned because of a "what kernel" when you install then # apt-get install kernel-package , read the docs and build and install/deinstall/test your own kernel images with ease, to your hearts content. > after installing the base system, i was eager to install packages > with apt-get. but almost all packages i tried to install now have > broken dependencies. Is it because you wipedout your installation? Some versions in gentoo and debian had different dependencies. Or, you have a defective media (cd). > i haven't encountered this with sarge installer > beta release 2. i'm using the same sarge cd set, by the way. > > would anyone know what i have done wrong ? > > gentoo runs fine on my pentium 2 box. but it took hours to compile > just the base system... :( Theyre not compiling, theyre installing. -- -stderr(Cagayan de Oro) -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
