[gentoo-dev] 1.0_rc6 install docs

[Grant Goodyear]

In my latest install I found a few errors in the docs (I think):

1. In Sec. 8, dhcpcd does not configure lo, so perl might still
hang for dhcp folks.  We just need to add a 
"# /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up" line to Code listing 12.

2. In Sec. 12, Code listing 21, I think we should replace
"# cd /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources" and
"# emerge linux-sources-2.4.8.8.ebuild"
with the more up-to-date
"# emerge sys-kernel/linux-sources".  No sense letting 
Drobbins' 2.4.10 work go to waste!

3. Also in Sec. 12, at least for metalog, we need to have
the user perform "rc-update add metalog default".  Also,
we need to mention to the user that /etc/metalog/metalog.conf.samp
needs to be copied to /etc/metalog/metalog.conf and modified to
suit.

If nobody squawks by tomorrow, I'll modify the docs.

PS.  Lamer must be thrilled with the fact that /boot/boot is
now a symlink to /boot!

These sound like needed improvements.  Please go ahead and apply
them and let me know when you have.
