Hi Harry, |

You've said this a couple of times that Gentoo in a VM isn't |
| 10 |
working for you. I think you should start a thread specifically about |
| 11 |
that. |

As for Gentoo installs, IMHO, they are in a bit of a mess right |
| 14 |
now. Last weekend a friend decided to give Linux a try and I helped |
| 15 |
him install Gentoo. The tarballs still, after nearly a month I think, |
| 16 |
didn't include all the required /dev stuff in the stage3 tarball which |
| 17 |
caused the machine to not boot. Maybe that's what you're seeing? I |
| 18 |
don't know because I haven't seen a real writeup on what the problem |
| 19 |
is. |

|

Anyway, be sure that Gentoo does run in a guest VM. |

Cheers, |
