Many people who have tried Gentoo have done the same thing. Most often it happens to people with linux/unix experience that "know better" than the developers that wrote the documentation. Some RTFM, and some flame the distro. Some even explain their problem here and ask for help. We're listening and will be more than happy to help or point you to documentation. -- Regards, Ernie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
