| 374 | When the Installation CD boots, it tries to detect all your hardware devices and |
|
|
| 375 | loads the appropriate kernel modules to support your hardware. In the |
|
|
| 376 | vast majority of cases, it does a very good job. However, in some cases it may |
|
|
| 377 | not auto-load the kernel |
|
|
| 378 | modules you need. If the PCI auto-detection missed some of your system's |
|
|
| 379 | hardware, you will have to load the appropriate kernel modules manually. |

| 426 | If you plan on giving other people access to your installation |
|
|
| 427 | environment or you want to chat using <c>irssi</c> without root privileges (for |
|
|
| 428 | security reasons), you need to create the necessary user accounts and change |
|
|
| 429 | the root password. |
|
|
| 430 | </p> |
|
|
| 431 | |
|
|
| 432 | <p> |
|
|
| 433 | To change the root password, use the <c>passwd</c> utility: |
|
|
| 434 | </p> |
|
|
| 435 | |
|
|
| 436 | <pre caption="Changing the root password"> |
|
|
| 437 | # <i>passwd</i> |
|
|
| 438 | New password: <comment>(Enter your new password)</comment> |
|
|
| 439 | Re-enter password: <comment>(Re-enter your password)</comment> |
|
|
| 440 | </pre> |
|
|
| 441 | |
|
|
| 442 | <p> |
|
|
| 443 | To create a user account, we first enter their credentials, followed by |
|
|
| 444 | its password. We use <c>useradd</c> and <c>passwd</c> for these tasks. |
|
|
| 445 | In the next example, we create a user called "john". |
|

| 448 | <pre caption="Creating a user account"> |

|
| 449 | # <i>useradd -m -G users john</i> |
|
|

|
|
| 452 | Re-enter password: <comment>(Re-enter john's password)</comment> |
|
|
| 453 | </pre> |
|
|
| 454 | |
|
|
| 455 | <p> |
|
|
| 456 | You can change your user id from root to the newly created user by using |
|
|
| 457 | <c>su</c>: |
|

|
|
| 471 | If you want to view the Gentoo Handbook (either from-CD or online) during the |
|
|
| 472 | installation, make sure you have created a user account (see <uri |
|
|
| 473 | link="#useraccounts">Optional: User Accounts</uri>). Then press <c>Alt-F2</c> to |
|
|
| 474 | go to a new terminal and log in. |
|
|
| 475 | </p> |
|
|
| 476 | |
|
|
| 477 | <p> |
|
|
| 478 | If you want to view the documentation on the CD you can immediately run |
|
|
| 479 | <c>lynx</c> to read it: |
|
|
| 480 | </p> |
|
|
| 481 | |
|
|
| 482 | <pre caption="Viewing the on-CD documentation"> |

|
|
| 484 | </pre> |
|
|
| 485 | |
|
|
| 486 | <p> |
|
|
| 487 | However, it is preferred that you use the online Gentoo Handbook as it will be |
|
|
| 488 | more recent than the one provided on the CD. You can view it using <c>lynx</c> |
|
|
| 489 | as well, but only after having completed the <e>Configuring your Network</e> |
|
|
| 490 | chapter (otherwise you won't be able to go on the Internet to view the |
|
|
| 491 | document): |

|
| 496 | </pre> |
|
|
| 497 | |
|
|
| 498 | <p> |
|
|
| 499 | You can go back to your original terminal by pressing <c>Alt-F1</c>. |

|
|
| 509 | If you want to allow other users to access your computer during the |
|
|
| 510 | Gentoo installation (perhaps because those users are going to help you |
|
|
| 511 | install Gentoo, or even do it for you), you need to create a user |
|
|
| 512 | account for them and perhaps even provide them with your root password |
|
|
| 513 | (<e>only</e> do that <e>if</e> you <b>fully trust</b> that user). |
|
|
| 514 | </p> |
|
|
| 515 | |
|
|
| 516 | <p> |
|
|
| 517 | To fire up the SSH daemon, execute the following command: |
|
|
| 518 | </p> |
|
|
| 519 | |
|
|
| 520 | <pre caption="Starting the SSH daemon"> |
|
|
| 521 | # <i>/etc/init.d/sshd start</i> |
|
|
| 522 | </pre> |
|
|
| 523 | |
|
|
| 524 | <p> |
|
|
| 525 | To be able to use sshd, you first need to set up your networking. Continue with |
|
|
| 526 | the chapter on <uri link="?part=1&chap=3">Configuring your Network</uri>. |
