You can even do it from Windows if you feel that way inclined. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
All an installer does is write a bunch of files to known names on a disk. It |
| 27 |
does absolutely nothing else. All you'd need Windows to do is: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
have a driver for the filesystem you want Gentoo to run on |
| 30 |
make valid partitions and filesystems, then write to them |
| 31 |
run portage correctly |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This is all the installer ever does. |
| 34 |
it's also what wubi does. |
