You can get the full instructions from the Gentoo site here see left hand side of page Installation:
Gentoo Handbook. I printed it out once and its about 100 pages long, Gentoo is also on my list of distos to try, good luck.

You can either start with a blank file:
Code:
# nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf Code:
# cp /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf.example /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf # nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...ap=5#doc_chap5 |
