While translating the new (13) version of gentoo-x86-quickinstall I've found some errors (see also URL given, with only differences from previous version): Line 400: ----- <pre caption="Copy your timezone file"> <comment>(Using Brussels as an example)</comment> livecd / # <i>nano -w /etc/conf.d/clock</i> TIMEZONE="CET" ----- The caption should be "Setting your timezone" If you use Brussel as an example, the value for TIMEZONE should be "Europe/Brussel". On line 757 I wonder if it necessary to talk about /etc/locales.build, if the current gcc doesn't use it, and given the fact that the guide is for quickinstall, rathen than upgrading. Best regards, Federico Reproducible: Always
I'll fix the caption error, but there's no need to talk about locales.build -- I removed it *because* you don't use that file on a new install; instead, you use glibc 2.4, which calls for locale.gen.
thanks for reporting; fixed in cvs.
Sorry to bother you again, but I think there was a misunderstanding (I should have been more clear). Now the caption is correct, but the example is wrong, because Brussel is not CET (it should be TIMEZONE="Europe/Brussel"). I think that could be misleading for novice users, because they could understand that you should use some abbreviation instead of the proper place (Brussel is CET from october to march, and CEST from march to october) Regarding the etc/locales.build, I was proposing to *remove* all references to it from the present guide, even the part that says to remove the file /etc/locales.build, not to revert to previous version. I don't now if there is a "/etc/locales.build" file in a fresh install. Is not a big issue, I wanted only to explain better my first report. The important thing (IMHO) is to fix the TIMEZONE example.
Changed it to be CET all around so that the text and the code match. Also removed locales.build entirely as you suggested.
