You cant change to a vc, ex: alt + f2 with loging in and you cant log in with out the encrpted password. So instructions given when you first boot should be changed to note this. To use vc2 and such you must first "passwd root" so that if you're going to "less install.txt" on another terminal you can log in. hiel Some points are fixed in 1.4_rc4, but others are not (or not that I'll recall). More especially, point 5 needs to be checked. I'll ignore the rest of the points: I don't have problems with 1, 2 is resolved with the current documentation layout, 3 is too personal (our suggestion is just a suggestion), 4 is not valid with 1.4_rc4, 6 is more a matter of taste (easier to remember :), 7 is not valid as Portage isn't built, just installed (Portage exists out of scripts), and Portage won't always be installed, only if you have issued "emerge sync" and a new portage version is available. I think CONFIG_PROTECT="-* /etc/make.conf" should suffice, but I am not certain. I'll ask on the mailinglist; if positive, I'll change it in the docs. Proposed change is on http://cvs.gentoo.org/~swift/gentoo-x86-install.html. If accepted by reviewing committee, I'll add it to the docs. While you're working on that doc, could you please change miscellany in the title of section 16 to miscellaneous? np Committed into CVS. |
