first, read the instructions on gentoo.org. If you do not want to print |
| 10 |
everything, you should at least take some notes. |
| 11 |
Read them again, look out for other helpfull guides. |
| 12 |
The examples are always helpfull, you might want to write them down, too. |

After that use your favorite partition tool, to make some free space on your |
| 15 |
harddisk. PartitionMagic should be able to do this and a lot more. google is |
| 16 |
your friend |
| 17 |
|

Boot from the gentoo cd. Now use cfdisk to make at least two partitions into |
| 19 |
the free space, / and /boot. |
| 20 |
Do not use PartitionMagic to create the linux-partitions! |
| 21 |
This will sometimes cause some very delicate problems. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
After that, install into that partitions like described in the guides. |

Will take 24h- some days, depends on your CPU and ram. |
