Junli, Note that the wiki page describing using linux-dist has this caveat:
"Note that this process is quite deprecated and not well supported. We suggest that you get your disk images either from the downloads page, or if that doesn't satisfy your needs, with a Gentoo stage 3 image. While we're not saying the below will not work, it may require a lot of massaging on your part." We should probably make it bolder so it is more obvious to see.
