Hello, I am new to Linux. I have tried RedHat a few times but always get frustrated with the RPM bullsh*t and give up. I've seen several posts about Gentoo and the emerge command so I decided to install Gentoo and give it a try. The install, configuration and almost everything else I've tried has worked on the first try. The only things holding me up are a couple of commands which I need to run on start up. I have to run these commands at the prompt after the system starts. ifconfig eth0 up dhcpcd eth0 hdparm -X66 /dev/hdb I've looked at the docs at Gentoo.com and searched the forums but I can't find anything that tells me how to run these on startup. If its too complicated to explain here if anyone knows where I could find instructions I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Apollo
