| 9 |
Leave Grub |
| 10 |
Install Gentoo |
| 11 |
Install VMware. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Question: |
| 14 |
Can I install Gentoo over Suse or should I start over on a clean hard drive. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Option I am considering: |
| 17 |
Start with a new hard drive, install Gentoo, VMware and then run XP as a |
| 18 |
virtual machine. |
| 19 |
Please advise. |

Background: |
| 22 |
I have installed Gentoo from Stage1 on a P3 600 Compaq Deskpro EN and |
| 23 |
Kubuntu on another Compaq Deskpro EN. |
| 24 |
But consider myself a Gentoo novice. |

This is my first email to the list. |
