Still hit quite often, use redirect instead of 404, faster, less bandwidth, more user-friendly
remove stale ancient useless file. and don't get pissy about redirects. the old handbook.xml is 4 years out of date, and doesn't list a few of our arches for which we have handbooks, like PPC64. it needs to go. it's not linked anywhere.
reverting previous change
the great swift@g.o email change, part 2
Converted dates to YYYY-MM-DD format
Moving 2004.3 documentation
Fix typo tx to mike@freebsd.schema.ca
Changing links to sparc doc
#42823 - Separate architecture specific instructions in separate handbooks
#46211 - Date/time must be set correctly before continuing with the installatoin
#46433 - Better SRM information for alpha
#40855 - Remove all CDs before booting a LiveCD; mentioning this in the instructions
Remove stale knoppix instruction
#46059 - KDE/GNOME LiveCDs arent available anymore
#46019 - Rerunning /sbin/lilo is needed when installing a new kernel
#44500 - The splashimage shouldnt be defined if you dont have a vga adapter; grub will cease functioning if you do
PPC doesnt have vesafb
Remove instructions for bootloader configuration with "grp genkernel"
ext3 has b-tree stuff support, removing the previously known bottleneck. thanks to ciaranm for noticing this
pcmcia-cs is only available for x86, ppc and amd64
Sparc is also well functioning on development-sources
Sparc LiveCDs dont autodetect
genkernel is not supported by Gentoo/SPARC
#44590 - Literally inform users that they need to get their network working before the sshd they started functions
--emptytree doesnt "remove" glibc from dependencies, on the contrary - glibc is listed as a dependency. It is used however as the primary dependency which makes all other packages on your system be listed as well
Bootstrapping doesnt do duplicate emerges anymore
#45572 - Apparently not all LiveCDs have iwconfig on them. Added a warning about this and a link to the linux-wlan-ng project for those interested in persuing their installation using their wireless access. Of course I know they get the link while they dont have a working connection -- if ppl complain about this just say its either getting the link or no information at all :p
Adding instruction on where to look for the genkernel generated kernel-image/initrd-image. How dumb was I thinking users would take this for granted...
Installing pcmcia-cs without USE="-X" installs XFree; this isnt what we want to force upon the users
#45083 - Use timeout instead of delay for lilo.conf
#44978 - Comment out PPTP stuff as at least the x86 LiveCD doesnt provide it. Im waiting for more information on amd64, ppc and alpha. If any of those do provide it, Ill reinstate it again
Use rootnoverify instead of root when dualbooting for Windows. The noverify makes GRUB use the partition without attempting to mount it (which would fail if the partition is NTFS)
Unmounting /dev isnt needed anymore as we have removed all references to bind-mounting /dev
44356 - Improve info on serial consoles; move out stuff from aboot config regarding this as it would duplicate the information
a) removed the cdcache bootoption for x86 cd's as this option is broken (#44151) and b) "universal cd contains all necessary sources to install from stage1" is wrong and now removed
#44195 - Dial-up also needs PPP support
#44400 - Some minor fixes
Various PPC updates; tx 2 pvdabeel
#43791 - XFS seems to be very unstable/unusable on amd64
The installation instructions in the handbook should only be the instructions we can "maintain". All other instructions should be maintained in the alternative installation guide (altinstall.xml). This moves out all the irrelevant information. It also includes better description on the LiveCDs and such.
Fix naming issues: we don't talk about the "2-CD LiveCD Set" anymore, but about the "Minimal" LiveCD, "Universal" LiveCD and the "Packages" CD.
Add information for wireless network configuration to hb-install-network.xml
#44044 - The title of the code listing in hb-install-network.xml might confuse ppl, rewriting
Add note telling to include support for the filesystem used by the boot partition if it isnt ext{2,3}. Otherwise the kernel isnt able to load the initrd
#43724 - Fix GRP isntructions
#36528 - Add information on SOFTLEVEL and BOOTLEVEL
#43726 - Fix for networkless installs; only a few kernel sources (if there is a choice at all) are provided
#43526 - Explain that it is "oh", not "zero" while editing the CFLAGS
Don't have the users run etc-update during the installation process. Too many users that do tend to overwrite the configuration files they just created and then complain about this on #gentoo. etc-update isn't necessary during the installation, but it is important for people to know about it. We therefore refer the user to the part on configuration file protection so that, once they've finished their installation, they can read up on it.
Portage snapshots location is different
Improve partitioning instructions for PPC users; improve information on yaboot configuration for PPC G5 users. Information received on gentoo-releng and pvdabeel
Remove dokeymap boot option from x86 livecds, add loadkeys, #43695
Refer to the errata in case of issues
Improve description of editing of kernel-2.{4,6}; suggestion made through e-mail on www@gentoo.org
#43323 - bindmounting /dev is not needed, it even causes issues; or we remove the instruction or we tell the stage1 bootstrapping script to treat the /dev specially (touch /dev/.devfsd). Ive opted to remove the instructions as recommended by most sources
Changed LiveCD naming scheme, #43448
#43038 - Be a bit more clear what to do when more partitions are defined
Move from draft - 2004.0 is released
Add instruction to add --no-floppy to grub in case the system doesnt have a floppydrive
#42719 - Remove etc-update command; it isnt needed for a succesful installation and the user should really read up on etc-update later on
#42221 - AMD64 kernel command fixup
#42402 - Add HPPA-specific kernel configuration items
Make DTD valid - No content change
Add knoppix instruction
Update find command for 2.6 kernels too
LILO uses "delay" for timeout, not "timeout". "timeout" is for password-typing in case the label is protected from editing

Update on irsii-chatting and rp-ppoe
#39245 - Knoppix automatically uses existing swap partitions

#40714 - Fixups on MacOS X burning
#40208 - Add info on xfree-drm

Remove emerge path/to/ebuild functionality; using /etc/portage stuff is now the best way to deal with this
Update on rp-pppoe setting in /etc/conf.d/net
New MacOS X burning instructions
#38720 - Move localtime before kernel as it is apparently needed to have a decent uname output
#38684 - Add warning on degrading from ~arch to arch, which is dangerous
#38514 - Add /dev unmounting
Remove boot reference anyway, too many users nitpick on it
Add recent genkernel intructions, should be as simple as "genkernel all"
Bug #38404 Removal of Pierre-Henri's email address on his request
#38300 - Add information on the new genkernel usage
#24551 - add a note about changing permissions on /tmp and /var/tmp
#36763 - better explanation on root() in grubs terminology
Remove LVM instructions from the documentation until the issues with LVM vs LVM2 (and compatibility with 2.4 - 2.6) have been resolved
Fix #37777, Manifest doesnt hold permissions but filesizes
pcmcia should be in boot, not default (#37629) - i tried getting in touch with msterret but his mail bounced so Ill assume the net.ethX scripts know what they are talking about :)
