Hm. Okay. Where else should it be? What do Install CD |
| 14 |
users do, to get mirrorselect? For me, not having used a |
| 15 |
Gentoo Install CD once, the natural thing to do to get a |
| 16 |
program on gentoo is "emerge $program". And "mirrorselect" |
| 17 |
is a program. |

I admit it - I don't know what's in the documentation. As |
| 31 |
I'm also too lazy to check right now, I go by my assumptions |
| 32 |
now - and they are, that genkernel is yet another program |
| 33 |
which needs to be installed in the chroot and thus needs |
| 34 |
to emerge'd first. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Is that not the case for Install CD users? |
