|
|
733 | If you want to view the Gentoo Handbook (either from-CD or online) during the |
|
|
734 | installation, make sure you have created a user account (see <uri |
|
|
735 | link="#useraccounts">Optional: User Accounts</uri>). Then press <c>Alt-F2</c> to |
|
|
736 | go to a new terminal and log in. |

737 | </p> |
|
|
738 | |
|
|
739 | <p> |
|
|
740 | If you want to view the documentation on the CD you can immediately run |
|
|
741 | <c>links2</c> to read it: |

749 | However, it is preferred that you use the online Gentoo Handbook as it will be |
|
|
750 | more recent than the one provided on the CD. You can view it using <c>links2</c> |
|
|
751 | as well, but only after having completed the <e>Configuring your Network</e> |
