 Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 9:41 pm Post subject: Emerge is not being found, among other things |
 |
|
In the Gentoo Handbook, I got up to the part where it asks you to tar-xvjpf stage3-*tar.bz2. This worked, and then I mount -t proc non /mnt/gentoo/proc.
But chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash doesn't work, saying that /bin/bash is a directory.
env-update is likewise not found as a command.
And when I tried to emerge gentoo-sources, it says "emerge: command not found".
I think I extracted something wrong, but I don't know what I did incorrectly. The extraction process went properly.
I realize how generic these problems are, but if you ask me for more information, I'll give it. Thanks for the help!

Did you remember to extract portage?
If chroot failed then then you can't go further. Try it again and make sure you read the handbook VERY CLOSELY.

I extracted portage. I did the whole tar-xjvf /mnt/cdrom/snapshot/portage-2005.1.tar.bz2 thing. I got the /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage there. But no emerge.
And it's saying something wrong about the /bin/bash thing. Would it be wiser to start over?

I'd start over... | Code: | | rm -rf /mnt/gentoo/* |
would do the trick. Then just re-download the stage 3, and continue from the stage file extraction part.
Remember to check whether the file you downloaded is not corrupt. You should download the .md5 file too and run md5sum on the file (command is given in Handbook) to check the stage 3 is downloaded correctly. |

And don't forget to change directories to /mnt/gentoo befor extracting the tarball, otherwise you'll probably extract it into the ramdisk and either run out of space or have chroot complain about not being able to find /bin/bash

I'm not downloading the stage 3. It's on the universal installation disk. I can't access the internet during my installation - I have a wireless connection to the internet that needs ndiswrapper to work. I want to install the whole system before I configure the internet.
I md5summed the iso on Windows, so I assume the whole thing is good.
