I have successfully re-installed both of my test systems. |
2 |
System 1 |
3 |
Asus CUVX4D clone with dual coppermines, I also got alsa and devfs working |
4 |
(which I have had major troubles with in the past) x, kde etc. |
5 |
Compaq Proliant 800 with dual pentium-pro and sym53c8xx SCSI controller. |
6 |
|
7 |
Only notes, |
8 |
fstab still has a missing '/' for the boot entry. |
9 |
I am still getting the broken pipe error on installing the kernel package (even |
10 |
with swap on) on both systems although the error seems to be purely cosmetic. |
11 |
|
12 |
The desktop configuration guide is awesome, VERY helpful in the alsa config. |

|
14 |
Hopefully, later today I will take a crack at some IBM Netfinity's with |
15 |
ServerRaid controllers. |

"Why I love gentoo linux" |
18 |
I have been using linux since the 1.2 kernel days, I have used slackware mostly, |
19 |
but have fiddled with rh and some others I was just about to start fiddling with |
20 |
lfs, when I stumbled across gentoo on the sunsite distributions page, and I have |
21 |
to say, that was a lucky stumble for me. Having used linux for so many years and |
22 |
unix prior to that, I have learned to get around most problems, but the whole |
23 |
gentoo experience, has been a real eye opener, I not only got everything |
24 |
working, but I actually know what I did to get it working!! I can do a base |
25 |
system in about 30 minutes if the computer is fast enough and the system doesn't |
26 |
end up with a gigabyte of useless crap that I don't need. |

Great job dev-team !!! |
