I wanted to install a modular Linux, which I could master and upgrade as = I=20 like. I earlier tried muliple other distributions (Aurox, Mandrake), but I did = no=20 longer expect to have any "straightforward" or "magic" install which was = too=20 tricky to update in future. I downloaded Gentoo 2004.2, started from stage3 (in a first trial), and=20 compiled a 2.6.7 kernel. All was Ok, I even compiled X11 and kde and ati_drivers, to try employ at= =20 best my Radeon 9700 graphics card. My concern is about the CD-Rom on my own (very new) linux install. When booting from the install boot CD-Rom, I have a /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 de= vice. But in the /dev of my hard-disk install, there is no such entry. So when = I=20 chroot to it, I can no more see the CD-Rom device. Maybe I missed something in the Kernel config ?
