Thanks for the encouragement. I attempted a Windows overlay install |
| 26 |
again and this time it seems to have worked! However I'll keep the live |
| 27 |
CD in mind for future emergencies. I started with Knoppix because a |
| 28 |
previous Gentoo installation I did wouldn't work with the live CD. I |
| 29 |
had an Advansys SCSI card in that box which wasn't supported on the live |
| 30 |
CD but was supported with Knoppix. |

Thanks, |
