Su is not the same as sudo.
In order to su, you need to be in the wheel group.

Hi all,
I did not install Gentoo yet, but I'm considering trying it so I need to
ask a few questions before I actually install it:

Yes. It doesn't have to either. It's also perfectly possible to use udev.
- Does Gentoo use automount/supermount?
If you want it to.
Thanks for your reply!

Are you asking if there is an autoconfiguration method? If so, not natively as
part of gentoo. However, a well configured system (even default

Thats only the livecd.
For your real install, you will need to:
- Compile support for your network card into the kernel
- Add it to modules.autoload if you compiled it as a module
- Configure /etc/conf.d/net for DHCP

The package you will need is dhcpcd. On my system, thats part of the system

No on binary. If you don't know yet, portage is a source-centered
package manager.
Except that there are plenty of packages that rely on binary distributions for a
variety of reasons.

Daniel,
I think you are wrong here. The new genkernel by default configures
the kernel with almost everything as a module, so you have both options:
1. Manually compile the kernel, choose the drivers you need, and edit
/etc/modules.autoload
2. Compile the kernel using genkernel
Grendel,
You can do it, but expect a long time compiling your modules :o)
Regards
