This will add a user gentoo, will make possible to use sound-related devices (<path>/dev/sound/*</path>), will make possible for switching to root (using <c>su</c>) and will make <path>/bin/bash</path> the login shell. (The whole sentence above is a little unreadable either way. Probably should be rewritten without the multiple "will".) And the other cvs commit: ... in the way it handles compiling and installing packages, very few Gentoo Linux installations are identical. In essence, when a user installs Gentoo Linux, the Portage system compiles a customized Linux distribution conforming to the options specified. (remove "him" from above.) Jeremy C.
