 |
|
I can find the grp dirs into the repositories for 2006.0, a nice empty dir.
Does that mean that the grp is gone with 2006.0 in favour of a non-always-working livecd?
I did not notice it before since I used the same dir portage since many years ago, and never needed to use a grp in any machine until today. I have the minimal cd, nice. I have the portage snap, nicer, and I have the stage, even nicer. But unfortunatelly, i have no packages. I looked into many repos, arch is x86, i just need directions on how to get a cd with the basic stuff, to be able to just use dialup from that machine. Well, if the cd also holdsd xorg and kde then even better.
That means binary or precompiled packages for wvdial and all its deps. I dont care if they are binary or source at all.
Thanks for any direction on this, im at a loss right now.

Group is gone for x86. The official word was that you have to use the universal x86 live cd instead.

Nice, then I will post about the nice error that appears when the user gentoo should log-in and the installation start.
But that is for another topic.
Thank you very much  |

If you have *anything* on your drive that you want to preserve, you better have a backup. The new GLI is very good about blowing away partitions even when told not to... (and I just wanted to be able to give intelligent answers to newbies about it)

Nothing important, but I am really wondering why the grp install was left appart if there is no reliable way to install gentoo without a broand band connection.... Maybe i am missing something. The livecd login is screwed. As least in the two boxes i tried. |

I didn't have any trouble booting the cd or running the installer, just with the results.
If you look in /usr/livecd on the squashfs image on the cd, you will find grppkgs.txt and systempkgs.txt. I belive that they list everything that is available on the cd. From poking around the image, I believe that the installer uses quickpkg to do a "grp" install now that a grp cd is no longer provided for x86.
