Hi

Have a look at the Docs comming with the download.
Especially at install.txt

Code: Select all

There are 3 installation types, 'E', 'F', 'Native'.  'E' is the traditional installation
where all the files are placed in E:\.  'F' places 'rootfs' and 'swap' on the F:\ partition but
leaves the other files in E:\ (required for Cromwell/ Xromwell support).

'Native' formats your F: partition to reiserfs and then extracts the rootfs to the newly
formatted partition.  

WARNING: 'NATIVE' WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON YOUR F: PARTITION.  ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST.
ONCE 'NATIVE' HAS BEEN SELECTED, THE ONLY WAY TO GET YOUR F: PARTITION BACK FOR NORMAL USAGE IS 
BY FORMATTING!

The requirements for these installations is as follows:

'E'      - You must have 4.5GB free on your E: drive.

'F'      - You must have 4.5GB free on your F: drive and 700MB free on your E: drive.
           The 700MB on E: is just used during installation and is freed up after the install
           is complete.  (i.e. it is just temporary space)

'Native' - You must have 4.5GB free on your E: drive and at least a 4.5GB F: partition.
           The 4.5GB on E: is just used during installation and is freed up after the install
           is complete.  (i.e. it is just temporary space)
E,F) install Gentoox in a loopback filesystem.
I think F) is what your asking for.

Use the Gentooxloader .

Stevie.
