 Posted: Thu May 29, 2003 6:19 am Post subject: Installing Gentoo Linux from Red Hat Linux 7.0 |
 |
|
I have a stand alone PC which has Red Hat Linux 7.0 on it. I would also like to put Gentoo on it too. It is a pentium 2 333Mhz.
I followed the alternative instructions and got as far as unpacking the tarball and copying the GRP files. But I have found that some of the commands don't work.
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc - returns /proc is not a block device
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash - /bin/bash no such file or directory
env-update - command not found
emerge sync - command not found
In the alternative installation instructions it just says follow steps 6 -17 of the x86 instructions. But if the commands I have listed dont work will this affect the installation of Gentoo and what commands should I use instead????
I also noticed to install the kernel, the instructions say emerge sys-kernel/gentoo sources, but when I used emerge before it says command not found. So how do I install the kernel???

I know they changed the /proc mount to
| Code: | mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
as for the other commands.
When you unpacked the tarball, did you use the -p flag in your tar command. If you did not then it may be a permission problem.
Have you checked the /bin directory in your new install directory for the bash binary? It may be possible that your downloaded tarball may have been corrupted.
