Hi Charles, These are from the xbox setup of Gentoo but it's pretty much identical:
swapon /dev/hdax (Activate the swap partition) # mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo (Mount the root partition) # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot (Create the boot mountpoint) # mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo/boot (Mount the boot partition) # cd /mnt/gentoo (Go to the mountpoint) # links http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml (or download the latest tarball...) # tar -xvjpf stage<your stage>.tar.bz2 ( ... and extract) (Select a mirror) # mirrorselect -i -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf (Copy over nameserver information) # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc (Mount the proc filesystem) # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash (Chroot into the new environment) # env-update; source /etc/profile (Load the necessary variables) Any chance you missed the cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf step or possibly didn't have the right target address? I don't think it would effect it but any chance you missed the env-update;source step at the end? good luck, Mark On 5/11/05, cfk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gentlemen: > I am working with the universal livecd.
