I've thought about gentoo for some time, and getting closer to switching
over from fedora.
as can be seen, there's a vfat partition, "/mnt/windows".

Occasionally I boot into windows and would, for the time being, like to
keep that capability. However, I might entirely drop windows down the
road.
I want to be able to return to:
' After step 5, core packages, which are the same on all Gentoo
installations, are installed'
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=1>
as a baseline. Would there be a command to do so?
To install:
acroread
Description: Adobe's PDF reader
For an x86 system, would I download the file from adobe, then something
like "emerge acroread", and would that also give me the plugin for
firefox? Or, is the firefox plugin for that through
<http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/> which connects to acroread? I know
there are other GPL readers, of course.
For perhaps a different thread, I'm feeling my way with with xmms,
realplayer, windows media player, mplayer, shoutcast, streamripper and
streamtuner, etc. Right now I have firefox configured such that an MP3
shoutcast playlist opens with Audio Player (xmms), which is ok, but I
notice that streamtuner uses bmp. One of the reasons I'm looking at
gentoo is in the hope that gentoo handles mplayer and the multitudes of
codecs well.
I have a gnoppix CD kicking around, so I'll probably use that, if I can
find it.
thanks,
Thufir
