[gentoo-user] Botched Gentoo Install

Hello all, This will be a bit lengthy and I apologize for that, but I don't know exactly where I went wrong, so am providing all details. First, I am new to Gentoo, but not new to Linux. I have installed source tarballs on other distributions (mostly Redhat and Fedora), but have never configured

Hi All, After getting side-tracked by a power outage in the middle of a Gentoo install a couple of weeks ago, I finally got back to doing a Gentoo install trial run. All seemed to go well. When I rebooted I got the menu with the two selections listed (Gentoo and DOS). The computer will boot int

[gentoo-user] Install Situation

Hello All, Yesterday, I started my first attempt at installing Gentoo. This was a practice run on a test computer prior to installing on my regular computer. I let the kernel build run overnight and consequently was not able to finish the install before going to work today. Everything was fine.
