So, what did you do? Did you remove doc from your USE-flags and proceed with emerge system, or did you just move on? If you did the latter one, you need to finish emerge system first, before continuing to kernel installation. (Although basically this shouldn't matter) You can finish emerge system by issuing: USE="-doc" emerge system, or you can switch to another vt (with Alt+F2) which hasn't been chrooted to the new environment (and thus still has lynx and links2) and use it to download the documentation. > I chose the "vanilla-sources" for the type of kernal, and run "emerge > --usepkg vanilla-sources".

Obviously this doesn't do me any good, as > there isn't a "linux-2.4.22" subdirectory. What's that "rm /usr/sec/linug && ..." thing? AFAIK you shouldn't need to delete anything during the whole installation process. -- Jani-Matti H�tinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
