[gentoo-user] gentoo install on Dell restore partition... live?

[Michael Higgins]

So, I finally got the OK to nuke another Dell winbox. My dream is to:

* Partition the restore partition (3.6 GB) for any small linux
installation 

* make that partition active, bootable, with grub installed

* reboot and ssh into that linux machine to finish by toasting NTFS
partition and making it my gentoo system '/' as per usual...

Can this be done without physical access to the machine which is
currently running windows XP? I am administrator and get 'there' via
RDP.

Any suggestions appreciated in advance.

Cheers,

Yes. If there is nothing easier, a coLinux set-up would let you do the
first step, I don't know about cygwin, it may also let you install to
the restore partition.
