[Sussex] Here we go...

[Macdonald-Wallace, Matthew J]

OK, two days later and I'm still installing... :o)

Broadband cable as well!!

Never mind, I've already learnt a hell of a lot about setting up grub and I
love the portage system!

Gnome is compiling as we speak and I'll emerge mozilla later on today when
I'm happy with the base setup.

This is more like it, only installing the packages I want, not having to put
up with the crap DeadRat installs on my HD... ;o)

I'll let you know when I've finished!

Cheers for the encouragement,

Matt
