Can not execute emerge

Hello to all. First sorry for a so basic question, but I was installing my first Gentoo by a ssh session to the PC.

The ssh session was cut just after kernel compilation, but now when i have loged again, I can not execute the next command in the installation guide: emerge coldplug. It claims that emerge is not a command, so i suppose some variable value is missing ...

Thanks for any help,

yer, you need to remount the disks again. Treat the new connection as like you just booted off the livecd for the first time.

Need to

And remember: If you ssh to your machine, and start compilation, you will have to keep the ssh-connection open till all your commands are executed! If you close it, the ssh-shell including the running processes/compilations will be closed.

So if your ssh-connection broke while doing the kernel-compilation, you will have to start the kernel-compilation again.

Tip: Install 'app-misc/screen'. It creates a virtual shell that keeps living if you terminate the ssh-connection.
