-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list,
Thanks to your help (and 68 pages of Gentoo documentation!) I've managed to get Gentoo running. Of course all I have at the moment is a command line, I now have to get gnome, kde, openoffice etc... To get all this stuff, should I download the package CD as mentioned in the docs and then install these from the package CD or can I simply type emerge -k gnome, kde etc... and have everything downloaded instantly? Thanks again, Keith Andrew Cilia wrote: | On Wednesday 06 October 2004 15:43, Keith Vassallo wrote: | |> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 |> |> Hi list, |> |> I have a system running Debian.

Share Swap space between both installations. No mileage in | creating a swap space per distro. | | 2). Don't worry about hda2, that is just telling us that the rest | of the disk is extended. | | 3).

That means you now have hda6 and hda7 | (swap) common to both. | | This is just one of many ways you can do it. | | Cheers | | - -- Keith Vassallo Registered GNU/Linux User #290991 http://www.keithvassallo.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBZVfYym3HAdrlsyERAhfpAKCDbatNsBflP7DfB20LtpcAIc6IoQCfQ+co WsWafURUlCe2zhHQwA/vCzM= =wykN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
