Handbook Talk:AMD64/Installation/System

Missing underscores
I have found two errors in the section "Configuring the network", there are two missing "_" in the followed sections:

Static IP definition: routes eth0="default via 192.168.0.1" should be routes_eth0="default via 192.168.0.1"

DHCP definition: config eth0="dhcp" should be config_eth0="dhcp"

The printable version is OK.


 * Um. Maybe you're using a weird monospaced font. Looks alright here: http://puu.sh/jGXzu/dc264e238b.png —a3li 14:09, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

We need an example with partition labels
I tried to follow the handbook, but I messed up here when I tried to use partition labels. It turns out that fstab will let you use either FSA labels or partition labels. You use LABEL= for an FS label, or PARTLABEL= for a partition label. Since this page recommends the use of partition labels, it should provide an example. -Arch dude (talk) 04:38, 9 March 2017 (UTC)


 * You may not (yet!) have noticed, but the new stage3 tarball contains a new set of examples how these should be implemented, but I would agree that some more information in the Handbook would be helpful. I know the Wiki team have this section on their TODO list, so hopefully you will see changes in the coming weeks/months :) -- veremit (talk) 14:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

The network section is not valid anymore
By default the new system uses predictable network interface names so the section should be updated to show the command that retrieves the predictable name and the config file modification and init file should be updated accordingly. --fordfrog 11:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
