I always use SystemRescueCD to install a new Gentoo system. Never a single
problem with it, other than having to set up my own working conditions every

I usually use it. When I've tried to use systemrescuecd, I usually
ran into issues: you couldn't follow the handbook
I've never used a gentoo-live-cd and the reason I use the gentoo-minimal
-cd is it's possible to bring speakup up on boot and for those few of us
who can't see the screen and haven't got sighted help nearby, that makes
all manner of independent computer operations possible.

/var/tmp/sys-libs/timezone-data is where the failed stuff was left.
Thanks. At least I learned how to use the rubber end on gentoo's

Good, then all the files which were built and any errors encountered would
still be left in the temporary work directory for this package under /var/tmp.
The actual error printed by portage
Emerge --info|grep fail-clean is not set.

I made another mistake and need to find the exit.
I did emerge sys-libs/timezone-data which downloaded that package and
dependencies and then errored out badly when trying to build the packages.
The native in COMMON_FLAGS in /etc/portage/make.conf was not recognized by

The instructions read
#emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
The instructions read:
#emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
That as I wrote earlier failed. so I try:
#emerge --config sys-libs-timezone-data
and get no packages found.

You seem to have used a slash in the package-category there, sys/libs
vs.
This time, when updating @world I decided to not merge anything.
I got up to:
Next, reconfigure the [365]sys-libs/timezone-data package, which will
update the /etc/localtime file for us, based on the /etc/timezone entry.
The /etc/localtime file is used by the system C
library to know the
No mount point on the minimal isos exists under /mnt where an installer

scripts that help them get around gentoo's installer limitations.
