Well, I must admit I followed the Gentoo install guide, and in doing so the boot partition isn't mounted (default Gentoo behavior). However, I think you can set this up in the fstab file (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong...)
With regards to your comments on the Gentoo documentation, I have to differ in my opinion. The documentation covers a great deal of standard linux items - specifically in the process to get to the base system. Yes, there is some Gentoo specific stuff, but mostly in terms of getting the packages to install and installing them. The info on CONFIGURING the packages applies to most any Linux distro's - and this is where the real gems of the document are. But, that's a discussion for a different thread.

Yes, Gentoo is fairly well-renowned for their documentation. An excellent way to learn some of the deeper parts of Linux, although Gentoo-specific (unlike, say, LFS). </snip> _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
