Hi. ... and thanks for the quick reply. A lot has changed with the Gentoo installation since the last time I've installed it ... and it looks great ;)
I'm not so sure about the formatting question with the installer. There is a possibility to not partition the disk but there is no option to not format the root partition. Is there a way to do so? ... or will an older version of the installation handbook work (installing from the text console without formatting the disks)?
