Actually he is and your reply supports that point. Also, I top posted |
7 |
because he did and I posted that reasoning. I'm sure he will get around |
8 |
to bottom posting when he gets his install done. Who knows what he is |

using at the moment. |

If he was reading and following the install guide, how did he do that |
21 |
when he missed a whole section? Obviously, he wasn't following it since |
22 |
he missed the section. When I did my first install well over a decade |
23 |
ago, I read that thing at least three of four times to even see if I |
24 |
wanted to try Gentoo. During my last install on my new rig a few years |
25 |
ago, I read it twice even tho it was mostly the same. Installing Gentoo |
26 |
isn't easy but it is very hard when you are not familiar enough with the |
27 |
process to even realize you missed a whole section. If you follow the |
28 |
guide and don't miss anything, it should work. The only major set back |
29 |
you can have is a badly configured kernel that won't complete the boot |
30 |
process. I might add, this is also why I prefer a one page guide. |
31 |
Start at the top and work your way to the bottom. Very little chance of |
32 |
missing anything then. |
33 |
|
34 |
Now that he knows he missed a section, maybe he can chroot into it, do |
35 |
that section and finish the install. That is unless his mobo blows out. :/ |
