 |
|
Im doing a stage1 install of 1.4 rc4. After running emerge sync, i get the following message:
"An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated. Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files."
Hehe... im a bit confused.. how should i proceed?  |

| The problem is i have nothing installed yet. And an emerge -p portage gives a list of around 25 packages. But I still tried it though, but it failed on ncurses i believe. |

You can safely ignore the portage update message at this point and update it after you have a basic system installed.
Or, if you insist on having the newest portage before bootstrap, do this :
| Code: | # emerge sync
# CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" emerge --nodeps portage
# nano -w /etc/make.conf <--- adjust your flags as needed
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh |
The "--nodeps" option will avoid installing other stuff before your system is ready for it. |

 not so for me ....... just happened after the kernel/to grub/ to reboot (allZ well )..... when going to emerge xfree86 ....... It advised me to update portage ....so i took the advise from the portage manual and -u system ... and we know that's not a good idea ... ( and the all goes worng from there  ) ...... still haven't found a correct anser for this ....
but I might keep looking ............. or try the prior "--ignore-deps" listed above .................................. |
