Hey folks! |

I recently upgraded to my first 64 bit processor, and even found myself |
4 |
with a copy of the 64 bit winxp, but I've been looking for an excuse to |
5 |
de-window myself for some time and this seemed perfect. The last |
6 |
command line interface I used was dos 5.0, so its been fun trying to get |
7 |
around, but I need help. |

I'm currently running 2 hard drives, the first has Windows on it (which |
10 |
I need to keep for a variety of application and game reasons) and I'm |
11 |
looking to put Gentoo on the second drive. I've googled the heck out of |
12 |
how to get the dual install right, but haven't been able to find the |
13 |
right tutorial to get me straight. I've downloaded the .iso's for the |
14 |
2005.1 universal install and the package disk. When I boot the gentoo |
15 |
CD, it gets me to 'preparing the disk for installation and then just |
16 |
hangs. I can hit alt-F1 to get to the verbose screen, and it is |
17 |
responsive, but I have no clue what so ever how to continue from there. |
18 |
I read that for a few other versions of linux the HD had to be formated |
19 |
in FAT32, so I repartitioned the drive that way, but still no luck. I'm |
20 |
guessing that its because I'm trying to install do my 2nd hard drive |
21 |
that is causing the problem. |

Any help to the linux noob would be great. Thanks folks |
