Subject: [gentoo-dev] Dual Linux install
Date: Mon Feb  5 08:11:02 2001	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <98138587401@molly3.emumail.net> (raw)

Hi,
   Here is my situation.  I am new to gentoo.  I am trying to install
gentoo on my system.  I have two IDE disk drives. Drive 2 has Mandrake
7.1.  It contains a /boot partition (hdb0) with grub installed there.
Currently the MBR of the disk one (hda) is setup with BootMagic to
install Windows or Linux Mandrake.  I have made one reiserfs partition on 
drive 1 (hda8).  I want to install gentoo onto that partiton.

1.  Can I use the /boot (hdb0) partition with both Mandrake and gentoo? How?

2.  After I untar sys.tbz2 there does not seem to be a kernel in
/usr/src/linux and I cannot find a bootable kernel with a System.map.

3.  I also do not understand what I need in the config modules.  Could
someone send a sample of this file?

I know that you are busy, so answer this when you can, no hurry.

Thank You
Ron
