Are you sure mtools is on CD2? If so, mount CD2. Then do this: # ls /mnt/cdrom/packages/All/mtools* (to see if it's on the CD) # cp /mnt/cdrom/packages/All/mtools* \ /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages/All/ (to copy it to your Gentoo install) Another option to get that stuff off the floppy is to simply mount the floppy normally. # mount -t fat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Then copy the files from there normally.
