Hi Jason, Marius and others
Thanks for your advice.
I made another round and still met with problem as follows;
1) unpack the portage snapshot
2) upto step 15 - without complaint
3) # emerge -k genkernel
.....
....
-- !empty dir /usr/share/doc/genkernel-1.5
-- !empty dir /usr/share/doc
-- !empty dir /usr/share
-- !empty dir /usr/sbin
-- !empty dir /usr
-- !empty dir /etc
...
..
sys-kernel/genkernel
selected: none
protected: 1.5
omitted: none
...
..
# genkernel
/usr/src/linux doesn't seem to exist. Please emerge your favorite
kernel source tree first.
# whereis linux
linux: /usr/include/linux
/etc/make.profile/ "make.profile" is a directory
# ls /etc/make.profile
make.defaults
packages
packages.build
use.defaults
virtuals
Could not proceed further.
B.Regards
Stephen
