Hello, I had tried Gentoo two years ago and now I'm back after some time using a Debian derivate (is still my main system for the time being).
I spent quite a time emerging and compiling from a stage 2 and most things seem to work well. There are two little things that don't work just the way I'd like however and I could not figure out how to cure them so far: - I have a Ti4200 Nvidia card. I compiled my kernel with genkernel --configure and (I think) did everything required to have framebuffer support but I can't get a splash screen to work. Well, that's not important so I go for a text boot, no problem, but I'd love to have a good information about framebuffers.... anyone know where I should look? - my main problem was that, while my netwrok would start OK, the default gateway would not be set, I had to do it by hand. The informations I found were about /etc/conf.d/net but this file seems ok: config_eth0=( "192.168.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) route_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.51" ) other sources talked from an /etc/conf.d/route , but that file does not exist and I have no clue as to its syntax. What I did now was to add he following into local.start: route add default gateway <IP> But I think this is not the best way to do. Were should I put that default gateway information so that it works? Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
