Well, I *used to* have Debian on it. It was in a bad state so I thought I'd try upgrading it with Gentoo. But I already changed the partitions and other things, so bootstrapping won't work anymore. > Also, I wouldn't recommend gentoo for a laptop.

But that leads me to another question... instead of syncing and having to compile all kinds of stuff as the install gets old, can I just grab the new stage3 packages, say, when 2004.1 comes out and untar it? Would that function like an easy upgrade or no? I basically want to surf the web and ssh to my workstation. I doubt I'll even keep personal files on there so come upgrade time, I could even scrap the whole thing if need be. -Rob _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
