Never mind... I've trashed that bagvapp gentoo appliance and built my |
| 19 |
vmware gentoo guest from livecd. |

|
| 21 |
I tried the (now aged) bagvapp vmware gentoo appliance because I've |
| 22 |
had big troubles in the past getting a kernel to boot inside vmware. |
| 23 |
I thought it might be easier to update the bagvapp appliance. |

This time, after piddling with the latest kernel, I got it to boot |
| 26 |
right on the first try .... (chest swelling to new dimensions) |

But that Uppercase thing was a corker... |
