Ok, so I'm mounting my filesystems using the installation guide using all their examples as my proper installation, and I come right before I begin to mount that tells me:

"Due to a bug in the e2fsprogs package, you need to explicitly use the mount -t ext3 option if you are using an ext3 filesystem."

Where does that come in and how do I enter it and use this command when mounting with the

# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot

commands?

Thanks for any help in advance, and maybe after this installation I'll learn enough to help out the next generation of newcomers...

here's another one:

how do you view the contents of /proc/pci so as to be able to properly configure the kernel and if there are any other resources that can be used for valueable information to this process?

cat /proc/pci

that works for me... just this afternoon I discovered the wonders of information that you can find in the /proc directory.

I always uae lspci, if i need detailed info I use lspci - v. Pretty sad but occasionally I have to use it via livecd or knoppix on my Windows boxen.

yeah, the lspci didn't work for me while in the install process, but I was able to see it with the nano command... appreciate the help fellaz
