1 Hello,
2
3 I've been handed a new amd64 portable (HP-8000), which must keep
4 XP on it. To perform an installation, I usually use Partition
5 Magic, which has worked very well to down-size the windoze partition.
6 This system (suposedly) has another hidden partition that XP uses to
7 restore the OS, if the XP installation ever get's corrupted. NO XP
8 installation CD was provided.

11 I was wondering if any of the opensource repartitioning tools
12 have matured to the point I could used one of them in lieu
13 of Partition Magic?

15 In order to keep the XP installation:
16 Does it matter if I setup Gentoo on the portable first, before going thru
17 all of those windoze installation/initialization menus?

20 Any wiki examples (gotchas) on xorg.conf or make.conf (as this is my first
21 amd64 installation) are welcome.
