That was exactly what I was thinking... |
| 2 |
My doubt arose when I got the following reply of a dual-boot installation |
| 3 |
with Ubuntu and Gentoo: |
| 4 |
"you have to use the same kernel from the Ubuntu installation for Gentoo |
| 5 |
(unless or course you manually upgrade it), however either way you end up |
| 6 |
with vanilla." |
| 7 |
Even that this guy/girl has /boot inside Ubuntu's partition, it still needs |
| 8 |
(in case he wants 2 different kernels) to place gentoo's kernel inside /boot |
| 9 |
so that he can start gentoo. |

Thanks for the replies. |
