Oops! It appears you are correct. For some reason I remembered the handbook suggesting to use ext4, but I must have imagined it. Attached is a new version of the patch that just adds ext4 to the list of suggested file systems, but keeps ext3 as the default. --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0001-Bring-gentoo-x86-quickinstall-in-line-with-many-of-t.patch" >From 934de9b6a074ebec1a547ff04ef640be439ddc1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: <934de9b6a074ebec1a547ff04ef640be439ddc1e.1358463447.git.dmeltzer.gentoo@gmail.com> From: Daniel Meltzer Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:36:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Bring gentoo-x86-quickinstall in line with many of the changes that have been made to the official handbook. It would probably make sense down the line to turn this into a 64 bit quickinstall guide, as that's rapidly becoming the common denominator for new users. This commit makes the following changes: * Suggest using emerge-webrsync instead of downloading a portage snapshot and unpacking. * Recommend mounting /sys for grub2 and other bootloader users. * Remove the unnecessary env-update after entering chroot. * Add ext4 to filesystems. We can probably remove jfs and reiserfs from this list to keep it less overwhelming, but thats a debate for another day. * Additional net interfaces should be symlinked to net.lo, not net.eth0, as net.eth0 is itself a symlink to net.lo --- .../doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml | 50 ++++++++-------------- .../doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-system.xml | 6 +-- xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml | 16 +++---- 3 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml b/xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml index dd48c41..a73e214 100644 --- a/xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml +++ b/xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml @@ -4,8 +4,8 @@ -14 -2012-02-29 +15 +2013-01-16
