I too am a user about to install gentoo, I have been postponing it till I get some good old scottish whisky to put me in the mood, I am kind of feeling sentimental about having toi kick mandrake out :) With regard to this aspect of the question, surely gentoo must handle this hardware detection and installation of necessary drivers well? The livecd which I booted into recognised all my hardware and loaded the ethernet card so I had a network connection working, so the base system which we install to the hdd must have some kind of auto detection, otherwise do we have to type the alias eth0 rtl8139too commands manuall to the /etc/modulesxxx files? > > - Does Gentoo use automount/supermount? > > If you want it to. There are kernels for gentoo which support supermount. Bye, Grendel -- Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
