At first I ran: chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash When I got the error message I tried without the first slash since it couldn't do any damage to test it. Same error. By mistake it was the last command that went in the mail. I guess I have to burn yet another cd then. :( Well, as longs as it works. Did suspect that was the problem. Wanted to be sure though. -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
