+1 for the SystemRescueCD which tends to be kept more up to date that the=20
Gentoo LiveCD used to be.
If there is a possibility of having to re-expand the MSWindows partition an=
d=20
taking it back to Costco I would recommend reading an old thread of mine he=
re:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/226452/focus=3D226560
If you don't want to read the whole thread, you'll have to at least read th=
is=20
message where I explain how to edit the MSWindows boot menu:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/226452/focus=3D226560
Unlike other bootloaders it does not interfere much with the original=20
installation and you can easily reverse the edits in the MSWindows boot men=
u=20
and re-expand the original partition before you return the laptop to Costco.
