> I am a windows NT admin who has been very excited about linux for about 9 months. I've been getting as much experience with it as I can. Yesterday I started your install routine after reading about your distribution in a article. It sounded very apealing. One thing I haven't liked is all the junk that comes with most distributions even when installed in expert mode. So eventhough I am pretty new at linux I thought I would give it a try. Your installation instructions were great. I had no trouble intill I got to "Final network configuration". I have no idea how to properly edit the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script. I skipped that step, finished up then rebooted. I get a banner pop-up that says I need DEVFS support. I went back into "make menuconfig" and I do not see anything about DEVFS. So, I need a proper network config script and a DevFS tip. |

I'm also new with gentoo and got the similar issue. DEVFS is actually |
| 17 |
/dev, so inside your kernel option find the FileSystem menu and go |
| 18 |
inside. Then look for /dev filesystem and check it in. This is what |
| 19 |
they mean by DEVFS. |

Or... to my understanding, I've not tried it but... they claim that you |
| 22 |
can put an option inside grub to make the thing work without devfs. |
| 23 |
Something like |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
gentoo=nodevfs |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Again that one I've not tried but I solved with the first solution. |
