how do you do the dual boot with vista?

[roundyz1981]

@Zoc15 Using grub.

which packages are used at the end to display the login screen and system stats?

[roundyz1981]

@cybercernary This is standard xdm login manager. added to the xsetup_0 file that lives in /etc/X11/xdm. The syslog is displayed using roottail and conky for the stats. Sorry for the delayed response.

awesome, do you have to compile it on the intended system? or is it all entirely in a make file? thanks. :)

[roundyz1981]

@NiGhtMarEs0nWax Thanks. All compiled on system through portage. To be honest It never feels slow..some years later...:) Hoping to give this t the wife, when I can afford a Lenovo thinkpad x201...Then gentoo will go on that too!

@roundyz1981 Yeah, that makes more sense. Now that I look at it, I can see that the login splash screen has a graphic. The first time I watched this, I thought that this was all being displayed without starting X.
