Hi, thank you for your help. My previous system was an LFS one, from which I took the complete configuration of the linux kernel. That's why I took a vanilla kernel for gentoo (by the way: Why is it named "vanilla" for such kind of things an not -- say -- straciatella, schoco, walnut or even tutti frutti :O) As I am right at the beginning with my understanding and knowledge about the gentoo system, I would like to know, what this "~86" in /etc/portage/package.keywords does. Is it advebtureous to do so, or is it just a good working tuning thing for x86 systems ? Anbother question: Is there a documentation of the _installed_ gentoo system -- not the installing process as such? Have a nice week!
