Thanks Terin, |

I got a little bored waiting for a response so I got started on my |
| 15 |
install. Things are going fine so far. I'm into the chroot and |
| 16 |
downloading a new kernel now. |

This is my first PPC machine. I have used Gentoo for years as a |
| 19 |
user type so I've probably built 30 x86 boxes but never a PPC so I |
| 20 |
wasn't sure how to configure the kernel by hand so I swiped the |
| 21 |
/proc/config.gz fine from the CD boot environment and pushed it down |
| 22 |
into the chroot to use to configure my first PPC kernel. Does that |
| 23 |
sound reasonable for a Mac Mini? I ran make oldconfig and just hit |
| 24 |
enter until it finished. I figured if that kernel config could boot |
| 25 |
the machine from the CD it should be OK for a first kernel from the |
| 26 |
hard drive. Would you agree? |
