Andrewski Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) Hi there, I'm thinking of playing around with Gentoo a bit in a few weeks (read: after school is out) and I'm wanting to install it on a separate partition. Pretty basic, right? (I'm really asking, not rhetorically.) The only thing I'm concerned about is whether it will work correctly: I have /boot, /usr, and /home all mounted on separate partitions for MDK, but I'll want Gentoo to be installed on one partition. Will that work, or will I have to consolidate? Second question: Currently, I have my /home on a separate partition and, of course, my settings are all saved therein (~/.app_settings/ and such). Is it safe to use my ~/ with the gentoo distrobution, or should I make a new ~/ on the gentoo partition for it?

pmpatrick Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I did it on one partition some time ago but IIRC gentoo likes a separate boot partition. I wouldn't try using your home partition in gentoo though as I'm reasonably sure that would be nothing but trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
