Collins, you should expect to have problems until you back up your important data |
| 13 |
and reinstall Gentoo Linux with the "p" option. Make sure that /etc/hostname and |
| 14 |
most other things in /etc are world-readable (except for /etc/shadow). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Again, I recommend a reinstall at this point, since it's hard to tell whether |
| 17 |
these bugs are problems with Gentoo Linux itself or just a side-effect of your |
| 18 |
permissions problem. |
