Quite accurate, also see the other popst answering your question for a |
| 7 |
bit more detail, and do read the said Gentoo Handbook. It does have |
| 8 |
some limitations, but it is the most complete document out there. |

Unfortunately, you are right. I brought the whole thing up because |
| 14 |
you mentioned a working Debian system on your machine, which will do |
| 15 |
quite nicely. If not, I am sure you could consider installing some |
| 16 |
minimal installation (in the swap partition maybe if disk space is an |
| 17 |
issue) and take it all from there. |

Yes, this is very advisable, it is a must in fact, one should read the |
| 22 |
handbook before attemtping a Gentoo installation. |

If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as |
| 32 |
it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. |
