[TriLUG] Pimpin' Gentoo

[Roy Vestal]

Hate to be a bother, but I got Gentoo with X and Fluxbox to install on a VMware 3.0 system. Granted I had to do my own "mknod /dev/sda"'s but I understand that it now sees the "generic" scsi emulation that VMware does.

Good luck

The box said "Install Windows 2000 or better", so I installed LINUX!
