There is also a part on how to deal with the installation if, after the installation, interfaces are suddenly named different (for instance when the user started installing with an installation medium that doesn't use the interface naming stuff and then boots up). Later in the handbook, in the networking part, I added an entire section inside the "advanced" part, which explains how this works, how to disable it or how to use it to use your own interface names. Committed to CVS, so it'll be online in an hour or so. If you can then review (especially the larger part at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=4&chap=2#doc_chap4 ?) |
