| 333 | If not all hardware is supported out-of-the-box, you will need to load the |

| 338 | In the next example we try to load the <c>8139too</c> module (support for |
|
|
| 339 | certain kinds of network interfaces): |

|
|
| 353 | If you plan on giving other people access to your installation |
|
|
| 354 | environment or you want to chat using <c>irssi</c> without root privileges (for |
|
|
| 355 | security reasons), you need to create the necessary user accounts and change |
|
|
| 356 | the root password. |
|
|
| 357 | </p> |
|
|
| 358 | |
|
|
| 359 | <p> |
|
|
| 360 | To change the root password, use the <c>passwd</c> utility: |
|
|
| 361 | </p> |
|
|
| 362 | |
|
|
| 363 | <pre caption="Changing the root password"> |
|
|
| 364 | # <i>passwd</i> |
|
|
| 365 | New password: <comment>(Enter your new password)</comment> |
|
|
| 366 | Re-enter password: <comment>(Re-enter your password)</comment> |
|
|
| 367 | </pre> |
|
|
| 368 | |
|
|
| 369 | <p> |
|
|
| 370 | To create a user account, we first enter their credentials, followed by |
|
|
| 371 | its password. We use <c>useradd</c> and <c>passwd</c> for these tasks. |
|
|
| 372 | In the next example, we create a user called "john". |
|
|
| 373 | </p> |
|
|

|
|
| 375 | <pre caption="Creating a user account"> |

|
|
| 379 | Re-enter password: <comment>(Re-enter john's password)</comment> |

|
|
| 381 | |
|
|
| 382 | <p> |
|
|
| 383 | You can change your user id from root to the newly created user by using |
|
|
| 384 | <c>su</c>: |

| 397 | <p> |
|
|
| 398 | If you want to view the Gentoo Handbook (either from-CD or online) during the |
|
|
| 399 | installation, make sure you have created a user account (see <uri |
|
|
| 400 | link="#useraccounts">Optional: User Accounts</uri>). Then press <c>Alt-F2</c> to |
|
|
| 401 | go to a new terminal and log in. |
|
|
| 402 | </p> |
|
|
| 403 | |
|
|
| 404 | <p> |
|
|
| 405 | If you want to view the documentation on the CD you can immediately run |
|
|
| 406 | <c>links</c> to read it: |
|
|
| 407 | </p> |
|
|
| 408 | |
|
|
| 409 | <pre caption="Viewing the on-CD documentation"> |

|
|
| 411 | </pre> |
|
|
| 412 | |
|
|
| 413 | <p> |
|
|
| 414 | However, it is preferred that you use the online Gentoo Handbook as it will be |
|
|
| 415 | more recent than the one provided on the CD. You can view it using <c>links</c> |
|
|
| 416 | as well, but only after having completed the <e>Configuring your Network</e> |
|
|
| 417 | chapter (otherwise you won't be able to go on the Internet to view the |
|
|
| 418 | document): |
|

|

|
|
| 423 | </pre> |
|
|
| 424 | |
|
|
| 425 | <p> |
|
|
| 426 | You can go back to your original terminal by pressing <c>Alt-F1</c>. |

| 432 | <title>Optional: Starting the SSH Daemon</title> |
|

|

|
|
| 435 | <p> |
|
|
| 436 | If you want to allow other users to access your computer during the |
|
|
| 437 | Gentoo installation (perhaps because those users are going to help you |
|
|
| 438 | install Gentoo, or even do it for you), you need to create a user |
|
|
| 439 | account for them and perhaps even provide them with your root password |
|
|
| 440 | (<e>only</e> do that <e>if</e> you <b>fully trust</b> that user). |
|
|
| 441 | </p> |
|
|
| 442 | |
|
|
| 443 | <p> |
|
|
| 444 | To fire up the SSH daemon, execute the following command: |
|
|
| 445 | </p> |
|
|
| 446 | |
|
|
| 447 | <pre caption="Starting the SSH daemon"> |
|
|
| 448 | # <i>/etc/init.d/sshd start</i> |
|
|
| 449 | </pre> |
|
|
| 450 | |
|
|
| 451 | <p> |
|
|
| 452 | To be able to use sshd, you first need to set up your networking. Continue with |
|
|
| 453 | the chapter on <uri link="?part=1&chap=3">Configuring your Network</uri>. |
