Franceso reported the following to www@gentoo.org: """ Hi! I refer to the handbook (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=0) and its detailed installation procedure. Let us assume I use the LiveCD, well, it automatically logs in and guides me through the network installation automatically configuring basic devices until I get the prompt. To continue, I am invited to look at a certain file on the CD (a copy of this handbook, I guess). To make things easier, it would be nice that I could open the handbook on one screen and then follow the procedure to install on another "virtual terminal". But Ctrl+Alt+3 (or 4) opens a new terminal, but I simply do not know the login name (and password) to make use of it. Here is my point: it would be useful that in the first pages of your Installation guide you specify that, in order to do what I tried to describe above. I read though it but found nothing (in fact I still do not know it!). My best hope: that I am wrong and indeed the Handbook specifies that somewhere and I missed! Thanks for your hard work, Francesco """ He has a valid point here; we should add a section on the various -medium.xml files about viewing the handbook documentation (with of course the notice that the documentation on the CD might be outdated and/or contain issues that the current documentation doesn't have).
Added to CVS.
