Gentoo doesn't ask you what to install anything on. you install Gentoo on the partition of your choice. You can, in practice, install Gentoo on any partition type supported by the installation kernel and run it from any partition type supported by your custom kernel. Hope this helps, Mark

the question is how to clean up the world file without messing up the world file... I don't suppose there's even some ASCII art program that draws a tree of what's used by what to that I'd be able to see branches that need pruning? Neil said he dealt with the pain of this. I'd like to learn how to go about it. I have learned this morning that I probably have 5 machines that need to be looked after WRT this issue. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
