Description Francesco Turco 2012-12-18 15:50:54 UTC
1) The reference for the #gentoo IRC channel on Freenode is repeated two times: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=1#doc_chap1_sect4 (paragraphs 3 and 4)

2) The reference to editing the /etc/timezone file is repeated two times, first at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap1 and then at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap3_sect2

3) There's no need anymore to remove the Portage snapshot tarball, as the user is told to use emerge-webrsync: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=11#doc_chap2_sect1

4) In order to only show files in /usr/share/doc it is possible to use the --filter=doc option with equery: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=2&chap=1#doc_chap3_sect3

Reproducible: Always

Just noticed (2) too...
5) It's not a bug, just a suggestion: to split 
"
# ls /boot/kernel* /boot/initramfs*
"
in 
"
(chroot) livecd etc # ls /boot/kernel*
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.6.11-gentoo

(chroot) livecd etc # ls /boot/initramfs*
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.6.11-gentoo 
"

Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-01-02 19:18:25 UTC
Thanks; I've fixed (1.), (2.) and (3.) in CVS.

Regarding (4.), it wasn't the intention to only show the documentation with the equery command (the documentation part was only the first part of the paragraph). It truely was to tell the user how to view all files provided by a package, as it might contain other interesting files and directories.

On (5.) I think that's a matter of preference. I like the shorter notation here as it shows new users that several expressions on a single line are just fine.

Thank you for reporting this! Much appreciated.
