1 Greetings people,
2
3 I have been in gentoo-land for a while now, plodding along with a dual P3
4 box...but now I want to bring all teh wonders of gentoo to my little MT
5 that could beige G3. The machine is decent...i can give it 256Mb Ram, it
6 has a 330 Mhz CPU, about 36G of scsi space.. the only thing a bit lacking
7 is the video system...ati rage II - I think - but I gave it a vram boost
8 from one of my agp ati rage cards.

10 Anyway..thing is..a while ago I installed bootX and debian pretty
11 succesfully..but was kinda disappointed by how slowly kde ran and didn;t
12 have time to really tweak it ...in a way which I now so much more
13 comfortable doing under gentoo.
14
15 So after all that...the big question is.. how do I start the install...is
16 there some ramdisk install image that I can copy from the LiveCD into by
17 bootX folder and select it at boot. Or is there some other way I can do
18 teh install.

20 I would appreciate any assistance greatly,
21
22 Best,
