1 Hey all,
2
3 A couple days ago my main box died so I'm trying to restore it. I've only
4 got a old Gentoo Live-CD (2004.2) so I'm using that. I'm doing a Stage 1
5 installation.
6
7 When I get to the step of Bootstrapping the compiler I get the following
8 error:
9 * Error: ' ' does not exist. Exiting
10
11 In looking at scripts/bootstrap.sh
12
13 I see that the error will be displayed if /etc/make.profile is not a valid
14 file. (at least that's what I think I read).
15
16 My 2 questions are:
17
18 1. Why am I getting that error?
19 2. Why is /etc/make.profile not getting created? # I'm assuming it should
20 be getting created when I unpack portage.
