Hi! |

First of all, thanks for doing such a good job! I'm using RH for 2 years but |
| 4 |
was never satisfied with at one side rpms and at the other side self |
| 5 |
compilted apps. |

I've installed Gentoo yesterday evening (and all this night). I think you |
| 8 |
can make 2 or 3 corrections to the installation instructions. Here's my |

1. I had problems when running the fresh kernel after compilation because I |
| 12 |
had never found File systems/Device File System. In fact the label is |
| 13 |
something like '/dev fs ...'. After the first bad try, I've deducted that |
| 14 |
this is the thing you mention as Device File System. After a second |
| 15 |
compilation and boot, crash again. In fact, you say that I don't need to |
| 16 |
enable the '/dev/pts file system support'. I have disabled it and everything |
| 17 |
goes ok now. Maybe it's better to say: you must disable '/dev/pts...'. |

2. When creating the boot floppy, maybe it is better to replace: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
with |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
mkdir -p /mnt/floppy/boot/grub |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Because the next cp will copy stage1 under boot and name as 'grub'. The |
| 28 |
second cp will copy stage2 under boot, rename it as 'grub' and overwrite the |
| 29 |
stage1. Grub will not install properly. |

That's all! Sorry for the bad english, this is not my mother tongue. This |
| 32 |
eve I will install X and KDE ;-) |

Thanks again for such a great distribution! |
