Thanks Terin, |

I got a little bored waiting for a response so I got started on my |
15 |
install. Things are going fine so far. I'm into the chroot and |
16 |
downloading a new kernel now. |

This is my first PPC machine. I have used Gentoo for years as a |
19 |
user type so I've probably built 30 x86 boxes but never a PPC so I |
20 |
wasn't sure how to configure the kernel by hand so I swiped the |
21 |
/proc/config.gz fine from the CD boot environment and pushed it down |
22 |
into the chroot to use to configure my first PPC kernel. Does that |
23 |
sound reasonable for a Mac Mini? I ran make oldconfig and just hit |
24 |
enter until it finished. I figured if that kernel config could boot |
25 |
the machine from the CD it should be OK for a first kernel from the |
26 |
hard drive. Would you agree? |
