I've got a bootable install running... yay! There's still some setup to do, but I can handle it from my desktop. One thing I might forward to the maintainers as a documentation bug/suggestion... If you're doing a remote install via ssh, *BEFORE THE REBOOT* run "ssh-keygen" on the install target, and then... scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@<install_target>:/mnt/gentoo/root/.ssh/authorized_keys This allows a root connection from your machine to the target machine, so that you're not locked out <G>. In my case, I only had to walk a few steps to the laptop, run ssh-keygen, edit /etc/ssh/sshd.config, restart sshd, and login manually via ssh. If you're doing a really remote install, it could be embarressing. After uploading my key, I've changed sshd.config back and restarted sshd. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
