Description Steven Wagner 2004-03-04 01:34:04 UTC
> # links http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/releases/x86/1.4/
Update to 2004.0 link, or better yet just give them a link to the mirrors page.

># mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
this is more accurately, mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

-vcron has been changed to vixie-cron.

># nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
change to  kernel-<version>

This is the updated line needed for genkernel and grub.
kernel /kernel-<version> root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x317 splash=verbose


and lastly...This Quick Install Reference link needs to be added back onto the documentation page.

Also, package installation is different (copying over packages isn't required at the beginning), fstab is a bit different, genkernel instruction has changed, update on kernel ebuilds, domainname must be added to initlevel, bootloader configs need to be updated and xfree needs the bindist USE-flag set.

I've done some more tweakups and moved the ascii-art-like configs of the bootloaders to separate code listings (which is easier to edit in the future).

File reviewed, edited and committed.
