Description Andrew 2003-04-07 08:19:05 UTC

Trying to run Gentoo Live Cd for the first time, the help text above the root
login says configure networking with "net-config eth0"   Amazing to find that
command is not recognized!  OK, the website instructions correctly give the
command as "net-setup eth0"  but this basic error does not inspire confidence in
a newcomer.
(my eth0 Realtek 8139 chip is not detected anyway, but that's another problem) 

Reproducible: Always

b0rked on your CD, but fixed on our experimental ones on mirrors in the experimental/x86 directory. Thanks for the report, though, and we'll have new official livecds out soon.
