Can you attach to bash script you are running and the exact error |
| 16 |
messages? It is hard to say (at least for me) without seeing it; bash |
| 17 |
to bash portability issues are something I have never heard of. As a |
| 18 |
guess there are a variety of options you can change while running in |
| 19 |
the interpreter with the "set" command that can also be set in |
| 20 |
configuration files or the command line. Also possible is that the |
| 21 |
install CD contains a gimped version of bash, but typically then it's |
| 22 |
not called bash. It could also be running it with "set -o posix" for |
| 23 |
some reason. |

The installation process at its core involves preparing the disks and |
| 30 |
then extracting the stage 3 to them. Disk preparation can be |
| 31 |
exceedingly complicated and making an automated installer that |
| 32 |
supports all possible setups is pretty hard, only fairly recently have |
| 33 |
distributions like Debian been able to offer automatic setup of |
| 34 |
encrypted LVM volume groups. Some possible configurations (per PV |
| 35 |
keys) still aren't supported. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The other part is creating a kernel. For that there is genkernel, but |
| 38 |
it just compiles everything in. I'm not sure that counts as |
| 39 |
configuration but it is automatic. |

I do think the handbook leaves far too many things out that normal |
| 42 |
users would need. I'm trying to compile a list of useful x86/PC |
| 43 |
related things to add to the handbook at some point, like useful |
| 44 |
default make.conf and portage options. There's also a lot of |
| 45 |
configuration files to sort through, documenting files of interest (if |
| 46 |
not providing some default configuration for them) is probably a good |
| 47 |
idea. |
