Gentoo started w/o error/complaint after "emerge lvm2" I found out the cause why after "chroot" some commands not found. Because after "chroot" /dev/vg/usr, /dev/vg/home, etc. were not mounted disregarding having be mounted at the begining before "chroot". I further discovered the cause of the later because I did not repeat the step to edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf as written on "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/lvm2.xml";. Athough at the beginning before "chroot" vg and lv can be activated with all devices mounted which gave me a wrong concept considering this step being not necessary on "exit/re-enter" chroot. But after "chroot" all devices were umounted. Installing X Window server went through w/o problem by following the doc:- "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml"; Further problem came on installing Gnome. I'll start another topic later. Folks, lot of tks for your advice. B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
