|
|
during the gentoo installation, a seperate terminal where the install guide and possibly the kde/sound etc setup guide is displayed. It doesnt have to be X, just a graphical version of the web pages that is displayed on terminal 6 or something
that will save printing out reams and reams of paper before you install gentoo _________________ 95% of all computer errors occur between chair and keyboard (TM)

I agree, some other docs should be included not only install.txt (which can be displayed with 'less install.txt' - but you already knew that I guess [the other docs could be viewed with lynx or so after installation as well, so it doesn't make that much sense to include the other docs - but anyway they only use a few kb]) |

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, can't you do this already ?
I haven't had a look during the install process before, but I know that Debian at least gives you 3 terminal windows to play with during the install process.
Would seem stupid if Gentoo doesn't give you at least 3 terms to play with at boot time from install CD (before bootstrapping etc). |

you have more terms in gentoo (would be quite senseless to look at the doc, quit less, do the next step, less doc, quit, next step etc.
but he/we are talking about not only having the install.txt on the installation CD but other docs, like java guide, nano guide etc. |

Sorry I was mainly targetting at the original comment which lead me to believe TheCoop was just after more terms:

If it is a case of more documentation, having the HOWTOs available is always nice, or the 'man' package is that is technically possible ? |

Probably. The're in a xml format, so tearing a text version from them should be super-easy. _________________ Do you want your posessions identified? [ynq] (n) |
