Further examination of what's in Stage 3 |
| 6 |
+ review of my detailed notes from installation last year suggest |
| 7 |
that the correct attempt wb to unpack the tarball somewhere temporary, |
| 8 |
then copy /bin /lib /sbin /usr /var into the existing set-up; |
| 9 |
also to unpack the latest Portage snapshot into /usr/portage ; |
| 10 |
after that, copy carefully selected parts of /etc . |
| 11 |
After all, I do have a working kernel + system configuration, |
| 12 |
which is partly what needs to be created during a basic install. |
| 13 |

Of course, if there's a simpler method anyone can suggest, I wb thankful. |
| 15 |
Can anyone explain why it's choking on the ELF header ? |
