No mount point on the minimal isos exists under /mnt where an installer |
2 |
can temporarily mount another drive to copy output of errors or created |
3 |
scripts that help them get around gentoo's installer limitations. |

Earlier tonight I had been fighting with links since links insisted on |
5 |
downloading an image rather than the stage3 file my cursor was located on |
6 |
according to speakup. |
7 |
I ended up putting the base url in a bash script along with an empty |
8 |
download variable then using another computer to get the name of the |
9 |
stage3 file and copying that into the download variable. Then I ran the |
10 |
script which used wget for the download. My latest mistake was to try to |
11 |
save that bash script since as soon as I left /mnt/gentoo everything on |
12 |
/mnt/gentoo went away and all I was left with was a lost+found |
13 |
subdirectory which was empty. |
14 |
I at least still have the four partitions remaining on the gentoo disk. |
15 |
It's also lucky I'm using drive sleds. The decision to remove lynx from |
16 |
the isos I think was not a good decision for screen reader users. Now I'm |
17 |
going to go back and repeat all of this stage3 download work and also |
18 |
forget to save that bash script. |
