Way too many people make this stupid mistake: # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolve.conf They don't think about it and copy it to the place that's spelled correctly. This is in code listing 8.3. My suggested fixes -- 1) Below this line, add: <codenote>Make sure it's resolv.conf, not resolve.conf.</codenote> 2) Do the same in a warning below the code listing. 3) Change the line so it reads: # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ That way it can't be spelled wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Although this is a good suggestion, we try and keep the install guide as concise as possible. We can try to give the best instructions that we can, but guarding against human error is near to impossible.
