Thanks Duncan, |

Though, now that I have my USB 3 external hd, which has Debian |
| 14 |
installed, now working with wireless internet connect, I am thinking of |
| 15 |
trying to install Gentoo on a partition on an internal hd... but having |
| 16 |
other options with some guidance is more reassuring, & could be very |
| 17 |
helpful (& what I was looking for, though I might just try Marks' |
| 18 |
suggestion, too, thanks Mark). One other thing I have been meditating |
| 19 |
upon, is that I have a UEFI bios... (Windows 8), I did install an MBR on |
| 20 |
the external disk, with grub on it... & when I boot, in legacy mode, |
| 21 |
from it... grub works... so thinking I might be able to update grub, |
| 22 |
after the Gentoo install, & (hopefully) use grub to load the Gentoo |
| 23 |
system... Grub would not install in the UEFI, & the directions to boot |
| 24 |
from it, with Linux, are a bit complex for me at this stage... (will try |
| 25 |
to work that out too, eventually). |
