Possibly, possibly not. While an edited version of the 70 page tome from Gentoo Central Command is very desirable this truly microscopic document of just a dozen or three useful lines is really no more that an aid to memory for the seasoned installer. It assumes you know exactly what you are doing before you start. Only 3 lines on how to configure and install a kernel! Need I say more? The Quick Install Reference at:- http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml is in a similar vein, but seems slightly more informative. It actually shows you how to create you lilo or grub config files. While not in the same league as Linux From Scratch, one of the Gentoo goals is to be an effective learning experience. The aforementioned tome is part and parcel of achieving that goal. In my experience it is effective. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux.
