Hello |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm still experiencing problems when trying to build gentoo from scratch. |
4 |
To summarize the core of my problem: I want to build a little network |
5 |
using gentoo. But: all machines are CD-less. So installing the |
6 |
exclusive-bin version (for me) seems to be a nontrivial task. |
7 |
|
8 |
I once succeeded (thanks to x86 on #gentoo) by using a different |
9 |
linux's boot disk which provided me with NFS, chroot and working |
10 |
internet connection to build gentoo from the 1.0_rc5-r4 build |
11 |
image. |
12 |
|
13 |
But since then I was not able to reproduce this success. |
14 |
|
15 |
With the 1.0_rc5-r4 build image I end up getting the same |
16 |
problems Marius Brueggemann got (bootstrap complaining, |
17 |
seems to be the lvm related problem already reported to this |
18 |
list). |
19 |
|
20 |
When I extract build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r4.tbz2 I can neither |
21 |
do env-update nor emerge rsync both complaining about |
22 |
make.profile not being where it should. |
23 |
|
24 |
Using build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r4.tbz2 and portage-20010827.tar.bz2 |
25 |
I could complete the bootstrap but emerge system first stopped |
26 |
on building diffutils complaining about makeinfo missing. |
27 |
After manually emerging texinfo I could resume emerge system |
28 |
but it stops again with netkit-telnet: |
29 |
make[1]: g++: command not found. |
30 |
|
31 |
Is there a better way to get gentoo on a CD-less machine |
32 |
(are there gentoo boot-floppies? Maybe the problem arises |
33 |
from the fact that I'm chrooting from a different system)? |
34 |
Or am I doing something seriously wrong? |
35 |
|
36 |
regards |
