I don't get why any distro leaves this out, why anyone wouldn't like to |
| 2 |
automatically notice while booting any announcement that something failed, |
| 3 |
especially someone who has just gotten a new installation up for the first |
| 4 |
times. Why isn't --noclear set by default? |
| 5 |
|

Once I set this and rebooted I saw several things that needed fixing that I |
| 7 |
didn't have a clue about: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1-error loading /etc/.../hostname (I had copied it from openSUSE installation |
| 10 |
instead of following installation instruction, and without reading or saving |
| 11 |
the existing one) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2-depending on hostname working, syslog-ng fails to start |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3-missing mount points |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As a consequence of my ineptitude (and prior to reading |
| 18 |
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/FQDN) I did emerge -s hostname, found a package |
| 19 |
by that name, and chose to emerge it. 30 minutes later, it and 3 dep packages |
| 20 |
were still compiling, lots lots longer than a kernel compile. :-( |
