k...I will give that a shot. As an aside, can someone verify that |
| 2 |
cvs.gentoo.org is indeed: |
| 3 |
216.223.235.2 |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Also, Since I have been unable to get the package information |
| 6 |
downloaded, I am using the burned CD to install apps. However, whenever |
| 7 |
I emerge them, it automatically assumes that the individual packages are |
| 8 |
located in their specific directories (say I try to install gnome-1.4 it |
| 9 |
will error because it cannot find: gnome-base/gnome-applets. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
All the packages on the CD are in one dir "All". Is that error refering |
| 12 |
that it cannot find the package, or that it cannot find the app? |
| 13 |
|

Thanks, |

OK, gotcha. |

The next thing to verify is that you use the "-o notail" option to mount |
| 40 |
your ReiserFS boot partition. If you didn't, then GRUB won't be able to |
| 41 |
read those files and will produce the errors you described. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Quick fix: mount your boot partition with notail, copy the files to |
| 44 |
another |
| 45 |
partition, zap the original files, and then copy them back. When they |
| 46 |
are |
| 47 |
recreated, their tails won't be packed. Tail packing is a Reiserfs |
| 48 |
thing |
| 49 |
that messes up most boot loaders. |
