Description Francesco Turco 2014-07-20 16:27:58 UTC
From the introduction (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/):
- The link to the Gentoo FAQ should be updated to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_Install_Gentoo_Using_a_Stage1_or_Stage2_Tarball.3F
- The link to the Gentoo Bugzilla could use HTTPS instead of HTTP

From part 1, chapter 1:
- The link to the Gentoo Bugzilla and the two links to the Gentoo Forum could use HTTPS instead of HTTP
- "You also have several possibilities: you can compile your entire system from scratch or use a prebuilt environment to have your Gentoo environment up and running in no time. And of course you have intermediate solutions in which you don't compile everything but start from a semi-ready system." Is this a reference to stage1/stage2? In this case it should be removed.

From part 1, chapter 6:
- "It will generates all the locales you have specified in the /etc/locale.gen file." It should be either "it will generate" or "it generates"

From part 1, chapter 7:
- "However, you'll also need to follow the instructions for switching to [...]" The correct link is http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap2_sect4 (sect4 instead of sect2)

From part 1, chapter 12:
- The link to the Gentoo Wiki doesn't use HTTPS

Reproducible: Always
