hi

ATM i have ubuntu running on my tf100ha because it has a nice option when installing side by side of windows in case something goes wrong and the oem
option . now i like to install gentoo and take all the good stuff from ubuntu . is there a good (hacky) way to do this?

regards hedmo

No hacky way, but you can install Gentoo along side Ubuntu and after you have emerged the comparable desktop and applications copy over your /home from the Ubunu installation and with some luck maybe you get a similar looking desktop environment.

thanks for the reply. ATM i made it the (hacky way). i installed ubuntu on the internal mmcblkop5 because this tablet only boots from internal or usb. after that i removed all but /boot , /etc/fstab , /lib/firmware , /lib/modules and /usr/src.
i had a gentoo install on a microsd card but as i said it does not boot from a sdcard so i copied it all to mmcblk0p5 and now i can boot my gentoo install :lol:

.

hacky way!!! :twisted:
