   OK, I will check out sabayon, which I never heard of before.   
   Also, Gentoo did NOT detect the hard drives.   
   Unfortunately, I also had the same problem with the Fedora installation   
   DVD (bootable but not live)which was unable to detect the the USB DVD   
   drive, halting the installation. This was very strange, since the Fedora   
   live CD had no problem detecting and mounting all drives.   
   I am not a troll, just very frustrated and upset at all the time and   
   effort I put into trying to get Gentoo to work on this ITX system.   
   I DID read the installation instructions in the handbook, and it never   
   even mentioned the DVD. Once again, thank you for the replies.   
   I have used Red Hat and SuSE in the past, as well as Unix on an HP mini   
   computer. I have also done 6502 assembly coding on the Apple 2 and tried   
   for years to make OS2 usable, despite apparent sabotage by factions in   
   IBM. I am not a total novice, though am rusty on Linux.   
   Well, anyway, goodbye. I will probably lurk a bit, but don't think I   
   will be posting.
