Hello, |
2 |
|

I've tried Gentoo and have a couple of suggestions. I am not a Linux wizard |
4 |
but not a total newbie. As someone with mediocre knowledge I pass on two |
5 |
suggestions: |
6 |
|
7 |
1. In the installation instructions let the user know to select Linux (x82 |
8 |
or x83, I don't remember right now) as the filesystem type when using |
9 |
Reiser. |
10 |
|
11 |
2. This is more important. My system is one that has an onboard Highpoint |
12 |
RAID controller (Abit KT7-RAID). In the install when you must chroot after |
13 |
mounting the cd image I was unable to follow the instructions further |
14 |
because there were not devices for hard drives e,f,g,h only a,b,c,d. To |
15 |
install I was forced to move the drive I wanted to install to the other |
16 |
controller because I didn't know how to create the necessary devices at that |
17 |
point. This just made the disk disappear and I had to install LILO because |
18 |
Grub was totally lost. |

Thanks for Gentoo. It looks like the Linux I've been looking for. |
