From the guides I've came accross, I need to unmask it by adding a line to package.license file but it doesn't exist ( even the portage directory is missing ) ..
| Code: | gentoo ~ # file /etc/portage/package.license
/etc/portage/package.license: cannot open `/etc/portage/package.license' (No such file or directory)
gentoo ~ # file /etc/portage
/etc/portage: cannot open `/etc/portage' (No such file or directory) |
Is it normal that I don't have /etc/portage directory and how can I solve this ?

Yes, it is normal that the directory is missing after a fresh install. Just make a directory and then the text file.
For example
| Code: |
mkdir /etc/portage && vim /etc/portage/package.license

Thank you - I already thought I've screwed things up right from the beginning  It seems that I don't need to create it anymore - after emerging Pulse, the given directory were created automatically.
As per installing flash .. found a workaround on my own - added LICENSE to /etc/make.conf and installation went through successfully. |
