Basically, once you get booted up, partition your drive like you want, |
| 51 |
create mount points ( mkdir /mnt/gentoo ), unpack the stage 3 tarball, |
| 52 |
mount your new partitions, chroot into the tarball. After you chroot, |
| 53 |
it is just like running from the install CD. Mirrorselect should be |
| 54 |
there in the tarball. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Sort of keep in mind that when you chroot in, you are basically in a |
| 57 |
Gentoo OS at that point. The tarball is a mini Gentoo install basically. |
