Just wanted to say something about the docs at =
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html.  In the section on setting up the =
/etc/fstab file:  Your example shows the line:
proc    /proc     proc    defaults    0 0

This line would not work for me until I made it:

none    /proc    proc    defaults     0 0

Is there something else going on, or is the example incorrect?  Poor =
newbie's like myself can (and just did) spend hours trying to figure out =
why /proc wouldn't come up properly.

Other than the above, the documentation is great.  System seems like an =
answered prayer for someone wanting to leave the pre-configured, RPM-ish =
distros behind.

Thanks,
