Hello all,

I'm quite new to Gentoo and I would like to swap from Slackware to that one.
I would like to know if it possible to install Gentoo onto a NTFS file mounted in loopback mode, like the TopologiLinux that I am currently using : http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/

I thank you in advance for any tip,

Sylvain.

Don't think so...

But, if you already have a Linux installation, you should be able to use the standard installation instructions. Skip the part where you set up hardware.

You are welcome to try to chroot() into a loopback partition though...
