[gentoo-dev] Just some Feedback

[Jan Schubert <Jan.Schubert@doubleSlash.de>]

Just installed gentoo (stage1-1.4) and i'm very satisfied. Your install 
guide is one of the best documentation i've ever seen - short and extensive.

There are just some very small points to mention:
- You should make very clear that tmpfs and devfs is needed while 
configuring the kernel (you should also mention, that tmpfs means 
"Virtual Memory FS")
- you should include some more examples for CFLAGS in make.conf 
(Pentium4, Athlon)

And the most important thing: Why is there no vi(m) included in the 
base-system? For many advanced users this is the only usable editor, i 
had some problems using nano...

I've seen, that some ebuilds are not at the edge of the time: Perl is 
still 5.6.1, but 5.8 is out for some weeks now; Gentoo-sources refers 
still to a 2.4.19-pre

Thx a lot,
Jan
