Well, Ubuntu is the same as Kubuntu with a different desktop environment. Except, if you install the full version of either, you're looking at a 7.45 Gigabyte install. If you do it minimal and add the kubuntu desktop, you have a 2.5 gigabyte install. See the difference?
Don't know where you get that 7.45 GB from. A full install of Slackware, which has more stuff than Ubuntu, is 4.5 GB. Ubuntu is about 3 GB or less.
You haven't actually specified a problem... but yeah, chances are I have. All you've told me is
You should start another thread - post the link to that thread here so I can find it. In that thread, state what it is you have done, what you expect to happen as a result, and what did happen.
Reading between the lines - you have installed gentoo linux (guessing from context) from an unspecified source, in an unspecified manner, without errors (worth mentioning), warnings or noticeable issues, in a dual-boot configuration (unspecified), on unspecified architecture. The boot process occurs normally - for the other OS.
Sounds like you have not configured the system bootloader for dual-boot.
I can go into detail in the other thread.
Yeah sorry for not specifying. New thread will be made sometime later today...
