Ok, so I tried installing from stage 1 first, because I wanted to build
my system from nothing. I didn't realize I *had* to have internet
connection so when I entered
scripts/bootstrap.sh
I got the error message about not being able to download portage.
So then I started with stage two, and after I untared it I entered
scripts/bootstrap.sh
I got the error message about not being able to download portage.
So then I got my crap together, and tried to go from stage 3. So I
untared it, and since I had read the instructions -- hell, even
highlighted the commands -- I knew what to do next. I entered
scripts/bootstrap.sh
I got the error message about not being able to download portage.
Well duh....
Just goes to show, there is a difference between *reading* the f---ing
manual, and *understanding* the f---ing manual.
Oh well. I'm learning. After that, my Gentoo install went pretty well.
I still have one problem which I will be posting about soon, but over
all I'm very pleased with Gentoo so far. Looks like a great distro.
