I was reading the thread regarding the amount of space necessary to install gentoo. I have a Mandrake distribution and I created a new partition on /dev/hda9 on which I want to install a minimal distribution of gentoo (base system + xfree + enlightement).
This partition is of 2 Gb. Is this a sufficient space to complete the script/bootstrap.sh phase?
I tried three times to build gentoo but it failed every time (I am sorry but I do not have the message).
The steps I executed are:
format the /dev/hda9 using ext3 journaled mount it on /mnt/gentoo download stage1 tar untar it on /mnt/gentoo download portage tar untar the portage on /mnt/gentoo/usr set http proxy e ftp proxy since I am bihind a firewall env-supate scripts/bootstrap.sh
(Basically I followed the documentation on italian gentoo web site)
My question is: is it possible this is a space problem?
Thanx
