Any objection to the handbook (or even gentoo docs as a whole) being |
| 35 |
in portage? 'emerge --searchdesc' doesn't turn it up, and I don't see |
| 36 |
it under app-doc/, so I don't think it's there. |

The problem I've tended to face is that on any install I do on new |
| 39 |
hardware, it's hit or miss whether or not the network will work after |
| 40 |
I reboot and work entirely within my installed environment. This is |
| 41 |
largely because I don't know which kernel options I need to leave |
| 42 |
enabled. That window inevitably requires me to have a separate machine |
| 43 |
with network access in order to walk any deeper through the handbook. |
