Suppressing autolinking of URL
Might want to use <nowiki> in the TTYs section to suppress the autolinking of the URL (and accompanying icon) in the 'links' example. To be specific:

Note for the official future media for UEFI mode
About note on no-UEFI mode for minimal CD, I have known that SystemRescueCD is based on Gentoo and it has UEFI support. UEFI is going to become a new standard, so I think that LiveDVD or SystemRescueCD are more important at the moment. Is it a good idea to clarify this point in the official manual? (just with a note) --Suricata (talk) 14:19, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- The first UEFI specification was published in 2007 and was previously based on EFI. Downloading the LiveDVD takes a long time and it seems that SystemRescueCD has some drawbacks concerning UEFI (sometimes the OS does not boot). I think the best thing is to explain how to boot the computer (or how to use the interface?). I know that this knowledge is special (high level) but I feel that some features are under exploited. --Feng (talk) 10:22, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- The minimal installation CD becomes less useful because it does not allow to start modern computers. Nonetheless, it is probably easier to develop than SystemRescueCD. Anyway, it seems that Gentoo has made his choice: "Readers looking to make their system UEFI bootable must download the latest Hybrid ISO (LiveDVD).". --Feng (talk) 10:22, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- The minimal now supports UEFI booting so this is an obsolete discussion. --Grknight (talk) 14:37, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Gentoo Ten project
As far as I know, the Gentoo Ten project doesn't exist anymore. I think we should link to the Release Engineering Project instead. Fturco (talk) 16:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- There are no longer references to the Gentoo Ten project. Thank you! --Maffblaster (talk) 00:02, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Gentoo Infrastructure team
This article contains a reference to the Gentoo Infrastructure team, but no link is provided. We should use Project:Infrastructure. Fturco (talk) 16:46, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
done. Thanks. --Jonas Stein (talk) 20:01, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
fetch keys with WKD
show only the simple WKD method to fetch keys. We do not need to show all ways here.--Jonas Stein (talk) 20:04, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- This is now the case thanks to Sam James (Sam) 's edit here: Special:Diff/1049166/1049167. Thanks also to Robin Johnson (robbat2) . --Maffblaster (talk) 00:05, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
