If you do not want to print everything, you should at least take some notes. Read them again, look out for other helpfull guides. The examples are always helpfull, you might want to write them down, too. After that use your favorite partition tool, to make some free space on your harddisk. PartitionMagic should be able to do this and a lot more. google is your friend Boot from the gentoo cd. Now use cfdisk to make at least two partitions into the free space, / and /boot. Do not use PartitionMagic to create the linux-partitions! This will sometimes cause some very delicate problems. After that, install into that partitions like described in the guides. Will take 24h- some days, depends on your CPU and ram. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
