Hi Arturo Thanks for the advice ..
AFAIK, you cannot unmount your root partition (it's obviously always
busy), so until you don't chroot on a stage* system, you cannot unmount
your boot cd.
Thing is, you could do this on the Gentoo 1.2 boot CDs: the mounted root is a RAM disk, so the CD can be unmounted. I found some forum posts about this, that made me think that this behaviour is intended to come back. Your suggestion about a service partition sounds like it should work, though. Luckily, we have a network connection and some spare machines, so just copied the tarball from a neighbouring machine. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
