This document was created really to be used by me as a reference to what I did when I installed Gentoo Linux on my CPQ Presario 2580US laptop. I am also planning on updating the page with links to my kernel config and any other changes I make to the system (software installs / hw changes). I wasn't sure if anyone else would find a use for it or not - but I figured I may as well put it out there just in case. --Chrisbs
