In the space of 5 minutes on #gentoo today, two new users made the same mistake: they created (and/or copied into their /mnt/gentoo chroot) resolve.conf instead of resolv.conf As a result, they could ping the internet by IP, but not by name. I believe that warrants a cautionary warning somewhere in the install doc, perhaps subtitled by "if you can no longer reach the internet by names, but ping is working..." Cheers, AfC
Sorry, but I don't think it's interesting to warn people concerning typo's. Our guide does not have that error, and typo's can occur everywhere. If we would place <warn>'s everywhere a typo can occur, our guide would be colored red :)
