Description Giulio Bottazzi 2004-12-01 00:56:19 UTC

When installing gentoo using ssh from a remote machine, if the connection for some reason goes down, one can lost a lot of work. I would suggest to put in the handbook, where the possibility to use ssh for remote installation is described, a mention of the possible problems generated by lost connections and how to solve it using screen. 

Reproducible: Always
