Description [name redacted] 2003-08-06 07:49:33 UTC
("SMP",) should be ("SMP"),

the whole sentence is like this:

If you are installing Gentoo Linux on a system with more than one processor
("SMP",) then you should type smp instead of gentoo at the prompt. 

It should be:

If you are installing Gentoo Linux on a system with more than one processor
("SMP"), then you should type smp instead of gentoo at the prompt. 

Please let someone fix this, those spellingmistakes defenately look not nice on
a 1.4 release!

There is more of this. I just paste the wrong sentence here, I asume a search option in the document can be used to find this sentence quickly.

Under Linux, we create filesystems by using a special command called mkfs (or mke2fs, mkreiserfs, etc,) specifying a particular block device as a command-line argument.
--> note the etc,) part which should be etc),

Note: This section is for those continuing a stage1 install or starting at stage2. If this is not you (ie. you're using a stage3,) then skip this section.
--> note stage3,) which should be stage3),

hehe, there was one more spelling mistake in one of the lines above here. I wrote:

Under Linux, we create filesystems by using a special command called mkfs (or mke2fs,
mkreiserfs, etc,) specifying a particular block device as a command-line argument.
--> note the etc,) part which should be etc),


"--> note the etc,) part which should be etc)," is what I wrote. This is also wrong, an extra dot (.) is needed after etc. The right thing looks like this:

Under Linux, we create filesystems by using a special command called mkfs (or mke2fs, mkreiserfs, etc.), specifying a particular block device as a command-line argument.
