I'm just installing my first Gentoo system ever, so I thought before
I forget I could tell you my experience. (The bootstrap is running,
so I have nothing else to do anyway :-)
* The documentation could say that support for a lot of network cards
is already compiled into the kernel. I was quite shocked when I
couldn't find the module for my Realtek card... (Or are the
modules on the initrd and it loads them from there? I know nothing
about initrd. But it doesn't matter, I think.)
* Maybe the installation documentation could say something about the
USE variable. Is it better to add a lot of settings right from the
start, or is it okay to just start with a few and then add more as
we go along?
I decided to add lots of settings that I think I will need.
* Maybe a word about continuation lines could be said. It seems I
can just break the line within the quotes, but how about saying
this explicitly?
* I kinda got confused about the network setup. (That shock about the
missing Realtek module must have been pretty severe :-) So I'm not
sure if the following is relevant. My dhcp server appears to need a
hostname. Does net-setup allow me to type one in? If not, it might
be a good feature.
Just to avoid any misunderstandings, I've been reading
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml
which I hope was the right thing to do.
Now I will go back and read some email. Stay tuned for more stupid
messages after the bootstrap has finished... (Or just tell me to
shut up if I'm annoying.)
