It was just a scenario, it's not like I'm against Knoppmyth. In fact,
I didn't mean for my response to be in anyway a stab at knoppmyth. I
think it's one of the greatest things to come in such a nice, easy to
use package. My scenario was just to show a possibility one may
encounter with the versioning problem.
And no, it doesn't take me 18 hours to install Gentoo, that too was
just a number I through out there and figured you guys would have fun
with ;) My latest install on an XP 2200+ took ~1.5 hours.
Cool
