Actually he is and your reply supports that point. Also, I top posted because he did and I posted that reasoning. I'm sure he will get around to bottom posting when he gets his install done. Who knows what he is using at the moment. > >> On Saturday, September 24, 2016 9:47 AM, Neil Bothwick >> wrote: >> >> You need to read chapter 1 of the Gentoo handbook from start to finish, >> then read it again. > The handbook doesn't have chapters.

Obviously, he wasn't following it since he missed the section. When I did my first install well over a decade ago, I read that thing at least three of four times to even see if I wanted to try Gentoo. During my last install on my new rig a few years ago, I read it twice even tho it was mostly the same. Installing Gentoo isn't easy but it is very hard when you are not familiar enough with the process to even realize you missed a whole section. If you follow the guide and don't miss anything, it should work. The only major set back you can have is a badly configured kernel that won't complete the boot process. I might add, this is also why I prefer a one page guide. Start at the top and work your way to the bottom. Very little chance of missing anything then. Now that he knows he missed a section, maybe he can chroot into it, do that section and finish the install. That is unless his mobo blows out. :/ Dale :-) :-)
