Gentoo was a complete joke. Of course, perhaps I had the wrong ISO. It was not at all clear from the web site what I wanted. The iso, while it claimed to be a gentoo distro, was also a Unreal Tournament CD that would let you boot and play on any PC. Why is this useful? I'm not sure. But it appears that in order to install Gentoo, you have to know as much about your system as used to be the case in the RedHat 4 days. That's for the birds.
you fool, gentoo is for advanced users. If you want a newbie system go get mandrake. If you cant figure out how to use fdisk you should be shot.

dominant OS. *sigh*. Silly me, to think that merely following the
documentation should be sufficient.
