Subject: [gentoo-user] Install Advice
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:54:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45DA007E.6070407@mho.com> (raw)

I have been using Linux for several years, but am new to gentoo.  I just 
got a new dell xps 410 system with a intel duo E6400 processor. I have 
tried all the distros I've used in the past, kubuntu, suse, mandriva.  
All had problems serious enough to not use them.  The problems may stem 
from using prebuilt x86 distros. Maybe since gentoo is built during 
install it might have a better chance.

What would be the 'best' medium for me, minimal or live CD?  I have a 
high speed connection.

Two avoid a typical dual boot install.  I would like gentoo to boot from 
my second hard drive.  During boot up, I can now select which HD I want 
to boot from. Will the install process let me assign a boot disk?

Thanks, Mike
