[gentoo-user] To be printed or not to be printed -- that is the question
Hi, I have a printout of the 2005.1-handbook and I am going to install 2006.0. Now I am asking myself, whether I need to printout the new handbook or whether there are too less changes to do so. (x86, CPU: AMD64 X2 3800+ Dual Core) Kind regards, mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Simply write down the URL to your handbook of choice, and fire up links. You can specify a site on the command line, or use the G button to enter an address from inside the browser. I recommend using Alt-F2 to switch to a second virtual terminal, so you can run links on that while performing your installation on the first. If you need live support, you can use the IRC client, irssi (although most IRC servers reject connections from root, so you'll need to make yourself a user first). To actually answer your question: there *should* be no major changes to the procedure. I don't remember whether the 2005.1 handbook details the GCC migration, but as far as I know 2006.0 comes with the new GCC-3.4 already, so you could skip that portion (revdep-rebuilding and so on).

If you are installing from the 2006.0 live cd you can see the handbook online as it boots to X with a web browser available. The handbook is on the CD in a number of formats. If you are installing in text mode, there is a text web browser available. Its big when printed, save some trees.

You are talking about the livecd... There is a livecd at gentoo/releases/x86/2006.0/livecd/ This livecd starts X and then you can bring up a web browser if you feel the need. -Jeremy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
