"""
hey

I am installing gentoo linux from fedora core 2.

In "Code Listing 6.5" in "The Gentoo Linux alternative installation
method HOWTO" I have a suggestion to a better command:

env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

Without the TERM variable nano and the kernel configuration would not
work, the HOME keeps some warnings away too...

ps: gentoo looks promising, thank you for the work you have done with
this software! :-)
