gentoo install

Shak · 07-06-2002, 06:06 AM

After a bout of insanity last night I took the plunge and install gentoo....it all went ok....BUT...Ive flucked up my /etc/fstab...

I only have nano to edit it with....

what should it look like for my

ext2 boot partition on /dev/hdb1
ext3 root partition on /dev/hdb3
swap partition on /dev/hdb2

I just sorted GRUB to load Winblows and gentooo and its puuuuurrrrppple!

This is a triumph for Shak...

I compiled it ALL FROM SOURCE!

hehehe

Code:

/dev/hdb1      /boot          ext2       noauto,noatime    1 2
/dev/hdb2      none           swap       sw                0 0
/dev/hdb3      /              ext3       noatime           0 1
/dev/hdc(?)    /mnt/cdrom   iso9660       noauto,ro        0 0
proc           /proc          proc       defaults          0 0

(replace hdc with whereever you placed your cd-rom drive)

according to the (excellent, btw!) Gentoo install manual

Gentoo is a great distro, you won't be able to use anything else once you got used to it :P

By the way, youre missing a ';' in your .sig ...

What the heck? What does that sig mean and how can you tell?
