[TriLUG] Gentoo linux

[Vestal, Roy L.]

I'm trying toset it up in VMWare. This is the first time I'm using a "non"
distro, and I'm used to HardDrake and Disk Druid. I'm having problems
modprobing my hdd. VMware is showing it as a SCSI, and the PCI detect found
a buslogic and scsi_mod, but I've tried both and don't seem to be getting
anywhere. When I run fdisk /dev/sda it doesn't find it. 

Any ideas?

I haven't seen any. I'm going on the assumption that you want
documentation to read while doing the install and away from another
computer. My solution to that is as follows. Since the 16Mb install CD
includes all the tools needed to bring up networking and ssh to another
machine, if there is a machine available to you from which you can run
links/lynx/w3m, then that would be an option to view the documentation
while installing (and without printing).

If you have another reason for wanting txt install documents, then you
could always do an HTML -> txt conversion and edit it by hand before
printing it out.

Let us know how you find Gentoo. (I'm enjoying it so far...)
