I am guessing here, because it has been a long time since I did a |
| 19 |
stage1 install. But I suspect that you need to update to the current |
| 20 |
profile before running bootstrap.sh |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.1 /etc/make.profile |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I am assuming that you have done the emerge --sync step already. |
| 25 |
Otherwise you can continue to try and bootstrap the 2004.2 profile, |
| 26 |
but YMMV. |

No, unpacking portage only makes /usr/portage (since there is a "-C |
| 36 |
/usr" option for the tar command in the handbook). If it is anywhere, |
| 37 |
it would have to be in the stage1 tarball if it exists. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
However, keep in mind that stage1 is really not supported now, and the |
| 40 |
current handbook only covers stage3 installs. There is no |
| 41 |
optimization to be had by going the stage1 route, only more |
| 42 |
difficulty. |
