 Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 11:09 pm Post subject: Installing the Sources - Section 7b...help |
 |
|
| From the and64 installation guide I am using the Minimal Install disk for my installation and not sure what is going on. I made it all the way to section 7b..Choosing a Kernal and typed this in: USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources I hit enter and the computer has been running scripts for 30 minutes. I am fairly new to linux (6 months with Ubuntu) and not sure if this is normal. It doesn't appear normal. This is my first run with Gentoo. Any advice? Thanks |

Running what scripts for 30'? Mine usually takes 15' to download sources, with my 384 adsl line, and then max 5' more to finish the whole thing. Can you be a little bit more descriptive on what your computer does for 30'?

Sorry about that. It is just loading different scripts or files. Its been at it for over 40 minutes now. I have a DSL line that is 4 meg down and 768 up. The screen is showing different text and code...example: right now the text slowed down and stated: Installating/Writing Cairo tools with multiple lines of code following:
Now it syas Writing Glib |

I don't understand how this is possible, really. It seems like you are installing a totally different application rather than the kernel sources. cairo and tango should not be here for sure. Try stoping it. Add -doc and -symlink USE flags in /etc/make.conf and then give emerge -vp gentoo-sources and paste the output here. Then try to install it again and report any progress.

I'm not sure what happenend, but I stpped it and re entered the -doc symlink and it appears to be working properly. I wonder what damage was done via the other nonsense. Any thoughts on how to check. |

if the extra packages it was trying to install never finished compiling then you'll just be left with some extra junk in /var/tmp/portage. The contents of that directory can be safely deleted as long as emerge is not doing any installs. If a program was partially installed then next time you install something that depends on it it should be reinstalled automatically. If a program completely installed, then oh well... doesn't really matter 
In any case, it's not very likely that something broke |
