Re: [coLinux-users] Installation of Gentoo.

[Dave C. <dc...@do...>]

Sorry, this should have gone to the list......


George,

Thanks for the reply

That was actually very helpfull.

I needed to have it confirmed that that was the way the system read it's
parameters.

I feel quite silly trying to start coLinux with a double-click, but that
was how the Gentoo Howto (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/colinux-howto.xml
) explained it.

Anyway, the console is working. I now need to configure the linux
partitions and the gui. And the network.
