Actually, that's how I found out about you.  I joined the list earlier this 
evening, and I'll probably be installing the distro tomorrow.

Questions:

1) Does gentoo support a network (FTP/NFS) install?

2) There's a lot of GRUB talk -- can I still use LILO?

3) I know its still in its early stages, but is kernel 2.4.0 and XFree86 4.0.2 
supported?

Yes, I saw that.  I also know the guy (DraX) who wrote "the third
option" article.

I haven't enabled any functionality to allow this, but it's possible that Achim
might have.  I seem to remember him enabling some kind of NFS funcitonality on 
the boot cd.  Achim?

Yes.

Yes, our official kernel is 2.4.0-test12 and I'm currently using XFree86 4.0.2, KDE
2.0.1 and anti-aliased fonts :)
