Well, bad news. I re-extracted the tarball, and all seemed to be going well. |
| 14 |
It still booted, and there were no segfaults. I emerged sync'ed again to see |
| 15 |
if portage is working, and it seemed fine. So I start with installing vim |
| 16 |
(can't stand nano ;)) and it wants to install a few packages, (ctags, |
| 17 |
vim-core, vim, gentoo-syntax) so off I go. It gets through ctags just fine, |
| 18 |
but then drops me back at a prompt, even though there were no errors! Huh? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So I try again: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
eden etc # emerge -vp vim |
| 23 |
Segmentation fault |
| 24 |
eden etc # ls -l |
| 25 |
Segmentation fault |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I don't know why it is doing this, and I no longer care. I am just going to |
| 28 |
reinstall, as I don't really want to begin this systems life in such a |
| 29 |
botched state, even if it is possible to fix. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I do appreciate your help though, and hopefully with a clean slate things will |
| 32 |
go better for me :) |

Thanks, |
