After many hours of work It seems that I managed to make a working build.
After the system starts and gentoo seems to be loaded, gentoo is asking a login name??? I never gave a login name?
I only gave a password, but without a login name it is not working. So i can not enter my own system????

I want a system without login and password!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hema,

Your login name will be root, if you only provided a password.

You really don't want a system without a login name and password. You just don't know it yet.

For safetys sake, you use the root account only when you absolutely must, for systems administraion. For all other things, you use your normal user, which you have yet to create. Using the system this way protects you from careless mistakes and to some extent from external attacks while you are connected to the internet.
