;) It was just a scenario, it's not like I'm against Knoppmyth. In fact, I didn't mean for my response to be in anyway a stab at knoppmyth. I think it's one of the greatest things to come in such a nice, easy to use package. My scenario was just to show a possibility one may encounter with the versioning problem. And no, it doesn't take me 18 hours to install Gentoo, that too was just a number I through out there and figured you guys would have fun with ;) My latest install on an XP 2200+ took ~1.5 hours.
