| My /usr/src/ directory is still empty though, at what step in the guide was this meant to be created? Did I miss something? |

I'm getting confused about the step where you are in the install.
Can you tell me where are you point me from the following list of commands where are you ????
This is a guide o did to set my computer in a quicker way and if you toke a closer look those are the commands from the online manual with some comments i made to so i know where i am.
You must also know that some steps must be adjusted at your own install.
I use this guide for a stage 1 install but can be used to stage 3 with some changes.

okay so far...
This is an install from the univeral CD, as my modem is USB and this machine doesn't have any usb ports.

#fdisk hda
(created a boot partition, used the 'a' option, and created a 500mb swap file, and using 't' made it linux-swap)
#fdisk hdb
(created a 5gb partition)
#mke2fs -j /dev/hda1

Now I am up to

When you take a look in /usr/src you should see a symlink called linux pointing to your kernel source:
|
THe /usr/src folder is completely empty though - and I can't find the folder the symlink is supposed to point to (have tried using locate, but it doesn't bring up anything).

The correct line is the second you miss the "2" was that a accident or where you using that command ???
| Code: |
tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20040413.tar.bz -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20040413.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr

Hello
I'm currently having the same problem (no such file or directory when typing "chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash)
I am installing Gentoo from an universal Gentoo LiveCD 2004.1 (md5 ok)
What did i do ?
I perfomed all the step without an error until the step where we must copy the resolv.conf file.
There i had an error because the file from the source directory does not exists ! So, I skipped this step. And the next one, the chroot one, blocked me ...
It seems that almost everything (of the previous steps) is installed correctly so i don't understand those errors. I think i downloaded the right iso (for an athlon) because i have an amd athlon XP barton.
I've read all the topic but i didn't find an answer for the problem that solves mine.
Thanks in advance. |

This command should work fine, in it you are copying the resolv.conf from the cd from witch you boot to your hard drive.
The only explication i have is a bad CD (but you allready said that the md5 is fine), other than that i can only say that the file isn't there meaning the cd don't have the file but that is wird since as far as i know it is needed for stage 1 install.

These commands are not needed if you configure the network before entering the chroot. |

i understand that ,the point is though that these type of commands dont work the error i get is "command not found " this happens when i get to the chroot stage of the install. the network is fully functional before this point and all these commands work. if i type exit and return to the position prior to the chroot command everything works .

These commands have not been compiled yet if you are chrooting into a stage1 or stage2 tarball. The network is still fully functional inside the chroot without these commands. Try "wget" from inside the chroot, that should work. |
