[gentoo-dev] Re: Problems with initial gentoo rc5 binary inst all - GRUB

[Grant Goodyear]

Yes, emerge should handle dependencies.  Did you do
  export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/gentoo/packages
to make sure that Portage knows where to find the binary
dependencies?

As for all of the grub problems, I'm not sure.  I make it a point
of running through the install directions and the Desktop guide
every time I reinstall Gentoo, just to make sure that things are
still working, and I've had no problems with grub.  I may have
missed something, however.  You might want to look at the
grub tutorial at
http://www-105.ibm.com/developerworks/education.nsf/linux-onlinecourse-bytitle/0F1731DC664023B7862569D0005C44AF?OpenDocument.
It's very good.

Best,
Grant
