Just fill in your root partitition and swap partition names.
login:root
pass:root
=> Notes :
- Default keyboard is US on starting console (use "loadkeys fr-latin1" for french keyboard)
- Default keyboard is US under GNOME (French keyboard can be selected from there).
- Network is DHCP
- TV setup for french cable
- Default language in MythTV is english
=> Things not working yet :
- TV playback has some glitches (maybe because I have an ATI 8500)
- TVout
- french xmltv/mythfilldatabase (but that might work for other country... not tested)
=> Things that should be working :
- Gnome (2.14.2) and Xorg 7.1 with ATI drivers 6.6.1
- ivtv drivers (0.4.2)
- LIRC (0.8.0)
- MythTV and plugins (0.19)
- basic emerge tools (qlop, equery...)
- other tools & apps (mplayer, mpg123, vorbis, mame, E-UAE, Chromium...)
=> After installation, do a "emerge --sync" to get portage DB.
