tar xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
However, my foolish 2 cents are: you "mounted all partitions", but did
you attach the filesystem created on device /dev/hdaX or /dev/sdaX at
the directory /mnt/gentoo? Did you
mount /dev/[hs]da[1-9] /mnt/gentoo ?
Of course i did.... and i also created a "/boot" directory into it
after mounting & mounted the "/boot" partition there. tell me one
thing if these 2 sets of commands do the same thing:
[SET 1]
# cd /mnt/gentoo/
# tar xvjf portage-latest.tar.bz2
[SET 2]
# tar xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
i used SET 1 & i think both are same as i alrady did CD intp "/mnt/gentoo".
I know, it's a foolish question....
I beg your pardon
dont worry about "pardon" :-)
just ask question whenever in doubt :-)
