Hello. I think there's a part missing in the x86 quick install guide found here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml In the installation handbook before you `CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge baselayout` you need to `rm /etc/conf.d/net`, which is not noted in the quick install guide. I found that if you actually do not remove that file, the old one is preserved, which might cause compatibility problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow the quick x86 install guide until `CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge baselayout`. 2. Review /etc/conf.d/net 3. `CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge baselayout` 4. Review /etc/conf.d/net again it's still the same Actual Results: The /etc/conf.d/net file stayed the same while it should have been replaced. Expected Results: The /etc/conf.d/net file should have been replaced. I'm not sure if the same steps should happen as in the much bigger handbook, but if that's the case, this line should definitly be added. It's not a big deal because the new net file is empty anyway, but people could get confused and use the old one, causing problems.
You're right, it should have been there, but now that 2005.1 is out, users do not need to update baselayout anymore. Quick install guide has been updated accordingly. Thanks for reporting.
