66 Sounds interesting.. And how would i du in more detail?
67 I am fairly new to Gentoo, and not much of a programmer.
68 I unpacked the "stage1-alpha-1.4-r1.tbz2"
69 That gave me a stage1 tree to chroot into.
70 But then what?
71 Do i just chroot /mnt/where-i-put-it /bin/bash ?
72 How do i build a new portage rescue? And how do i use it?
