[gentoo-dev] install

[Network Administrator]

1/23/02

I am a windows NT admin who has been very excited about linux for about 9 months.  I've been getting as much experience with it as I can.  Yesterday I started your install routine after reading about your distribution in a article.  It sounded very apealing.  One thing I haven't liked is all the junk that comes with most distributions even when installed in expert mode.  So eventhough I am pretty new at linux I thought I would give it a try.  Your installation instructions were great.  I had no trouble intill I got to "Final network configuration".  I have no idea how to properly edit the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script.  I skipped that step, finished up then rebooted.  I get a banner pop-up that says I need DEVFS support.  I went back into "make menuconfig" and I do not see anything about DEVFS.  So, I need a proper network config script and a DevFS tip.
