[gentoo-dev] suggestion...

Just a friendly suggestion...  In the install instructions, it might be 
nice to mention that you have to run rc-update on your choice of cron 
and logger, and even mention that you will have to do this for any 
service you install. For those of us more accustomed to the "we do 
everything for you" installers, it could save us a few minutes time.

Otherwise, the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I got 
Gentoo Linux up and running in no time, and am really enjoying it quite 
a bit!

Thanks-

Unless it has been changed since 16/5/02, code listing 26 does show
the rc-update command immediately after the emerge command.

Personally I find kwrite or kate to be excellent. I guess kate if you want
to set up tools etc. Have looked at the bash syntax highlighting xml for
katepart in (~|/usr/share)/apps/katepart/ and it's an excellent basis. Am
hacking it now to add ebuild functions, but if anyone knows a bit more
about this (specifically writing rules) and is willing to help, please mail
me.
