I don't really want to get into a fight, but some of the replies-not Rich's- are missing |
| 2 |
the point I am raising. To then disparage me is unworthy for a support list. |

Actually he is and your reply |
| 19 |
supports that point. Also, I top posted |
| 20 |
because he did and I posted that reasoning. |
| 21 |
I'm sure he will get around |
| 22 |
to bottom |
| 23 |
posting when he gets his install done. Who knows what he |
| 24 |
is |
| 25 |
using at the moment. |

If he was reading and following the install |
| 41 |
guide, how did he do that |
| 42 |
when he missed a |
| 43 |
whole section? Obviously, he wasn't following it |
| 44 |
since |
| 45 |
he missed the section. When I did my |
| 46 |
first install well over a decade |
| 47 |
ago, I read |
| 48 |
that thing at least three of four times to even see if I |
| 49 |
wanted to try Gentoo. During my last install |
| 50 |
on my new rig a few years |
| 51 |
ago, I read it |
| 52 |
twice even tho it was mostly the same. Installing |
| 53 |
Gentoo |
| 54 |
isn't easy but it is very hard |
| 55 |
when you are not familiar enough with the |
| 56 |
process to even realize you missed a whole |
| 57 |
section. If you follow the |
| 58 |
guide and |
| 59 |
don't miss anything, it should work. The only major |
| 60 |
set back |
| 61 |
you can have is a badly configured |
| 62 |
kernel that won't complete the boot |
| 63 |
process. I might add, this is also why I |
| 64 |
prefer a one page guide. |
| 65 |
Start at the top |
| 66 |
and work your way to the bottom. Very little chance of |
| 67 |
missing anything then. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Now that he knows he missed a section, maybe he |
| 70 |
can chroot into it, do |
| 71 |
that section and |
| 72 |
finish the install. That is unless his mobo blows out. |
