Where is /mnt/gentoo/ect/make.conf??

I unpacked portage and the large gentoo tar. Now I need to configure make.conf, but I don't see it anywhere? Is there a function I overlooked that I need to call?

Thanks,
Ness

Normally you would do something like this:

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

in order to do:

nano -w /etc/make.conf

However, if you did not do the cdroot you should be able to edit /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf. I'm not sure how far in the installation process you have come, what you have done and what you haven't done. So try have a look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml (assuming you're installing on a x86 system) and indicate what you have done.
