    …paritioning the drives is exactly the same for Arch as it is Gentoo lol if you did it for Arch, why can’t you do it for Gentoo?

      I meant, I partitioned the drives, but could not complete the steps after that. I couldn’t use that tar file to compile the kernel.

        Well, configuring the kernel is where things get tricky and is the major difference between the Gentoo and Arch installation, so that makes sense.

        To be annoyingly pendantic, you did get past partitioning the drivea, then!

      I think “couldn’t get past partitioning the drive” means they managed to partition the drive but couldn’t get beyond it ie couldn’t do any more after that.
