Here is a slight bug in your documentation. I downloaded the "install-x86-universal-2005.1,iso" and the "Gentoo_Linux 2005_1_x86_Handbook". In code listing 12 of the handbook it says to use a directory called "snapshots" on the CD, it actually needs to read "snapshot". Other than that, no problem. First time doing a by hand install and kernel build (to get an SMP kernel for an old dual proc PII), and it worked first time! Thanks for the great distro. Eric www.va3ep.net
That's because you use a wrong cd. This bug was fixed in 2005.1-r1 media refresh. See bug 102128. Thanks for reporting... but I have to mark it as INVALID.
