tweaked to set my screen resolution and get online? Thanks in advance.
for a larger resolution you have to use framebuffer, which has to be
kompiled in your kernel, and need some parameters in lilo/grub. best you
follow a tutorial on this, eg.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Framebuffer_Supporti know that for the lastest baselayout (sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13-r1)
an empty /etc/conf.c/net file is sufficent. but you might to add the line
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
which should work for less recent versions.
but a little more information would be nice to help you out with your
networking problem. (using genkernel? nic supported by actual
kernel-config? followed the instructions in the handbook? you got an
eth0? ...)
Thanks for the advice. To elaborate: I didn't use genkernel but did
follow the handbook instructions pretty closely. The network device is
onboard (2 of them in fact). I'll check the kernel-config for
compatibility. As I was able to download the stage 1 source and
portage snapshot during instalation, though, I'm guessing that the
hardware as such isn't a problem. I'm dual-booting at present, so I'll
check everything you mentioned at the next reboot.
