Hi Harry, You've said this a couple of times that Gentoo in a VM isn't working for you. I think you should start a thread specifically about that. As for Gentoo installs, IMHO, they are in a bit of a mess right now. Last weekend a friend decided to give Linux a try and I helped him install Gentoo. The tarballs still, after nearly a month I think, didn't include all the required /dev stuff in the stage3 tarball which caused the machine to not boot. Maybe that's what you're seeing? I don't know because I haven't seen a real writeup on what the problem is. Anyway, be sure that Gentoo does run in a guest VM. Cheers, Mark
