it took about a week i guess. but gentoo is running. stage3 install with genkernel just to make it easy. question: after i rebooted I got an error about the file system on /dev/hda1 not knowing what to do I tried #mke2fs /dev/hda1 and it worked. but i remember doing that during the install. any ideas as to why the filesystem on /dev/hda1 wasn't set correctly the first time? at any rate it did boot up and works now, but just curious. mike h __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
