Configure system services. Install your system services??”system logger, cron service,
hotplug, and reiserfs service??”and set the domain name. Then turn on each of those
services, as follows:
# emerge syslog-ng
# rc-update add syslog-ng default
# emerge vixie-cron
# rc-update add vixie-cron default
# emerge hotplug
# rc-update add hotplug default
# emerge reiserfsprogs
27. Add special driver support. There may be particular kernel modules required by your
computer at this point. For example, if you have a special Ethernet adapter or a special
type of video card, use the emerge command to install kernel modules now. You may not
need any of them. Here are a few examples:
# emerge nvidia-kernel
# emerge nforce-audio
# emerge e1000
# emerge ati-drivers
These emerge command lines are used only if you have special hardware associated
with the kernel drivers. Respectively, those commands load drivers for accelerated NVidia
video cards, audio for Nvidia NForce motherboards, fIntel e1000 Gigabit Ethernet cards,
and ATI Radeon+/FireGL graphics acceleration video cards.
28. Add user and machine information. Add a password for the root user, a regular user
account name of your choosing (chris in this example), a machine name, and a domain
name. If you like, you can also edit the /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.
