Gentoo 1.4_rc2 in RedHat 8.0 using UML: http://www.omote.com/gentoo/install-in-uml.html "Gentoo in RedHat? Yes, actually." This tutorial goes through installing Gentoo on Red Hat 8 using User Mode Linux. This will let you keep your existing system usable while you compile everything in a real Gentoo environment. If you set everything up correctly and use the "buildpkg" flag while emerging from start to finish, you'll keep yourself out of work for a minimal amount of time. When you go to set up Gentoo for real, just copy all the packages to /usr/portages/packages and use the "usepkg" flag while emerging - it turns emerge into an archive unpacker, and you'll be up and running in no time. You could also do the same thing in something like VMWare, but that's quite pricy. -- Alec Berryman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
