Description silvertip257 2012-05-09 01:54:58 UTC

The noun dependant is incorrectly used in Chapter 1 [0] where the adjective dependent should be.  I found it in the x86 handbook, but it is prevalent in amd64 and ppc handbooks as well.

Sometimes you can pursue an optional step. Such steps are marked as "Optional: " and are therefore not needed to install Gentoo. However, some optional steps are _dependant_ on a previous decision you made.
