* Suggest using emerge-webrsync instead of downloading a portage snapshot and |
| 2 |
unpacking. |
| 3 |
* Recommend mounting /sys for grub2 and other bootloader users. |
| 4 |
* Remove the unnecessary env-update after entering chroot. |
| 5 |
* Add ext4 to filesystems and suggest it as default for /. We can probably remove |
| 6 |
jfs and reiserfs from this list to keep it less overwhelming, but thats a debate |
| 7 |
for another day. |
| 8 |
* Additional net interfaces should be symlinked to net.lo, not net.eth0, as |
| 9 |
net.eth0 is itself a symlink to net.lo |
