Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-14 03:33:37 UTC
Sent to www@gentoo.org by Edwin Shin (eddie(a)cs-cornell-edu):
"""
The 2 corrections:
In code listings 2.3 and 2.12, there is the following command:
     # echo 'devices { filter=["r/cdrom/"] }' >/etc/lvm/lvm.conf

Now this is a pretty trivial correction, but since /etc/lvm/ doesn't
exist yet, bash complains with the following:
    -bash: /etc/lvm/lvm.conf: No such file or directory

Suggestion:
I think the language in section 2. Installation might be clearer with
the following. In place of "Follow the handbook until chapter 4.
Preparing the Disks", use:

"Follow the handbook, but with the following amendments to chapter 4.
Preparing the Disks."

The original suggests that the user stop following the handbook once he
reaches the start of chapter 4. Moreover, the descriptions for boot and
swap (including the instructions to activate swap) seem unnecessary,
since they are in the handbook.
