Thanks again Peter. I will give a shot. But before I do just another question if you 
could be so
helpful..

From the install guide 25>Installation Complete

[quote]Warning: etc-update can provide you with a list of configuration files that 
have newer
versions at your disposal. Verify that none of the configuration files have a big 
impact (such as
/etc/fstab, /etc/make.conf, /etc/rc.conf, ...). Merge the files that don't have such a 
big impact,
remove the updates of the others or view the diff and manually update the 
configuration file.

Must have missed this part in the docs ;-)
Anyway I had no troubles with etc-update when I installed gentoo 1.4 on my notebook. But to be sure you should at least check /etc/fstab if it matches your partition layout.
make.conf should be ok but you should check it also according to the docs to make sure that you won't have troubles installing ebuilds later. I'm also new to gentoo so I don't know if etc-update gives you warnings if it changes some of the config files.



I don't understand the above what so ever :o Can anyone tell me what I actually need to do here in noobian terms :)


[quote]Code listing 26.1: Rebooting the System

# etc-update
# exit (This exits the chrooted shell; you can also type ^D)
# cd / # umount /mnt/gentoo/boot
# umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
# umount /mnt/gentoo
# reboot
(Don't forget to remove the bootable CD)[/quote]


That parts pretty straight forward :wink:


There shouldn't be any problems with this part :-)

[quote]Note: After rebooting, it is a good idea to run the update-modules command to 
create the
/etc/modules.conf file. Instead of modifying this file directly, you should generally 
make changes
to the files in /etc/modules.d. [/quote]

Uhhhhh.. Huh... huhhh... Again this is greek to me. I'm not sure what I need to do exactly.


In modules.d and modules.autoload.d you'll find files describing which modules to load (and the alias names for them).
You should get
In my case I had only to add the NIC in order to get it loaded during boot.


Maybe it would be a good idea the send a new post to this list to get the attention of the real pro's

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks, :oops:
