1 I am using gentoo-ix86-1.1a.iso to install, strictly following your
2 instructions of installation.
3
4 First error I recieve is after following code listing 17.
5 ------------------
6 # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
7 # env-update
8 >>> Note: /etc/make.profile isn't available; an 'emerge sync' will propably
9 fix this.
10 >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
11 # source /etc/profile
12
13 Oh, no new prompt... An 'emerge sync' and 'emerge rsync' will not work as I
14 am behind a firewall / proxy!!!
15
16 Question Number One:
17 Why is make.profile not available at this point of installation, as I
18 followed the instructions and used the up-todate iso image? What went wrong?
19
20 Question Number Two:
21 You should work on a solution for people who have to use 'emerge (r)sync'
22 inside an firewall/proxy environment, and actually write it down and add it
23 to the installation instructions. Newsgroups are full with questions about
24 this problem.
25
26 Question Numer Three:
27 Why must I type in all those commandos? I think half of the commands are
28 equal for the whole manhood. Why not use a script? I could first setup my
29 network, make my partitions, initialize them, mount them, then edit one
30 installation script and go to the cinama. Next mornig, there could be a grub
31 menu asking me for my choice on my allready rebooted machine.
