Hello, I am in the middle of installing Gentoo Linux for the second time. The last time I tried it everything went fine (1.0rc16). This time during code listing 17 in the install instructions I don't get a "new" prompt when I type "source /etc/profile". Could this become a problem later down the road? I'm installing 1.1a.
Thanks for the help. |

There is a bug somewhere along the line and you $SHELL get incorrectly set to /bin/sh; therefore , you fail to get the correct prompt. Try: | Code: | | export SHELL=/bin/bash |
then run source /etc/profile. I doubt it would cause you a problem down the road though.
