No complaint from selecting 3, then 6. |

It already seems to be telling me don't. Man portage works, but portage |
| 19 |
--help produces not found. :-P I've yet to figure out how to get a list of |
| 20 |
all installed packages akin to 'rpm -qa | sort', so I really don't know what |
| 21 |
my starting configuration is. Startx doesn't work, which looks like maybe |
| 22 |
because /usr/bin/X* doesn't exist, and /etc/X11 is rather sparse. |

http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/distfiles/portage-2.2.8.tar.bz2 wouldn't |
| 34 |
be close enough, or is that what you're suggesting? |
| 35 |
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/snapshots/ has a lot to pick from. |

At least for now, I'd like to not try to go past 20121221 in order to avoid |
| 40 |
systemd. So far I've not found a procedure lending itself to that except to |
| 41 |
install via http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/20121221/ , but |
| 42 |
the machine doesn't boot USB and only has a CD reader. Neither of those |
| 43 |
normally matter, since my preferred installation method is HTTP initiated by |
| 44 |
Grub loading an installation kernel and initrd, but I've yet to locate |
| 45 |
Gentoo's for that AFAICT, if it even has any such thing. I guess the chroot |
| 46 |
to untar methodology on |
| 47 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Stage obviates any |
| 48 |
such need? On http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/ I |
| 49 |
don't see anything that looks like a way to get to 20121221 if not already there. |

> How did you clone it? It appears parts are missing. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I used the word clone a bit loosely. I did rsync -av after a fresh mkfs.ext3. |
| 57 |
What's missing on clone is missing on source too. Difference in used below I |
| 58 |
suppose is mostly on account of having already run emerge --sync? |
