 Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 3:23 am Post subject: installing dhcpcd after exiting livecd |
 |
|
Did not install dhcp client while going through original install process. After booting can't connect to network. Should I boot up using the livecd? if I do this which steps in the install process do I need to repeat to get back to the point where doing emerge dhcpcd will work properly.
Thanks in advance,
Rr |

boot cd, then using your actual device names for sda3 and sda1:
| Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
emerge dhcpcd
exit
reboot |

What cd are you booting?
Sounds like your equivalent to the nominal: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
was not right
boot cd
run to determine what your device names are
post fdisk -l results if you want a second eye to look

sorry, been at this all day, eyes are tired and made a mistake when mounting.
I was able to successfully install dhcpcd. Thank you. If I'm having an issue connecting should I continue posting to this thread or start a new one with the appropriate title? |
