The quick install guide is for users who are already experienced with |
14 |
Gentoo. With a Debian background, you'll probably be fine, but you |
15 |
might find it worth keeping the full install guide handy. |

Have you rebooted the system yet? Don't bother about installing Gnome |
21 |
until you've done so. Be absolutely minimal in your steps, if they're |
22 |
not directly related to having a working system. A DE is eyecandy - |
23 |
just get the disks prepared, the files copied, the kernel installed |
24 |
and the bootloader going. When the system boots for the first time to |
25 |
a plain console you can then log in as root and add ~jose, cron, |
26 |
syslog, GUI (although you'll probably want to install GNU screen a |
27 |
little bit earlier). |

Once you have the system booting you'll be able to copy & paste the |
33 |
full output of the error. Note that most install CDs also offer SSH, |
34 |
if you have another, fully-working system. |
