I totally forgot about the installer because I've never even looked at it, but you're right - the only way someone could miss that is if they used the installer or if someone else installed Gentoo for them. That said, I must reiterate the sentiment - avoid the installer like the plague. (Sorry, installer project folks. I just don't agree with it.) To the original poster, and to anyone else who has used the installer, please do the list and yourselves a favor - read the guides, learn your system. I don't mean this to be rude in any way, but you'll get much more benefit out of Gentoo that way. Tom -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
