This HOWTO is based on a compilation and merge of two excellent HOWTOs provided in the Gentoo forums by IWBCMAN and janlaur and remains on the Gentoo Howto page. I modified this howto based on my own installation notes during a recent installation (about 30 minutes ago to be exact, 01-21-2005 @ 0251hrs). The links to these original discussions and howto are provided below for your reference:

* Part by IWBCMAN - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=162420
* Part by janlaur - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=163154
* Gentoo Howto - http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/colinux-howto.xml <-- this was the main document that I modified for this installation. Compare this document to that document and you will know the places I modified that were not correct or I felt needed better explanation or I simply explored outside of that document.
