1 Hello everyone.
2
3 I had a few questions.... I have a fairly good working knowledge of Linux
4 (the basics anyway), setting up mail, X, etc. But I was curoius, can anyone
5 reccomend any good books? Any particular book that would be better to learn
6 some of the more advanced stuff? Reccomendations would be appreciated.

8 Also, when I'm booting Gentoo... I installed the ISO, followed all the
9 instructions on the website, but when Grub tries to boot, I end up at a Grub
10 prompt. However, I am able to boot if I manually type the following lines
11 below, the system boots fine. I'm just not sure where I went wrong with the
12 configuration of the Grub menu file.

14 root (hd0,0)
15 kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3

18 I'm sorry if this is the wrong list to be posting in, but I figured it
19 definately wouldn't be wanted in gentoo-announce. =)
