To summarize the core of my problem: I want to build a little network using gentoo. But: all machines are CD-less. So installing the exclusive-bin version (for me) seems to be a nontrivial task. I once succeeded (thanks to x86 on #gentoo) by using a different linux's boot disk which provided me with NFS, chroot and working internet connection to build gentoo from the 1.0_rc5-r4 build image. But since then I was not able to reproduce this success. With the 1.0_rc5-r4 build image I end up getting the same problems Marius Brueggemann got (bootstrap complaining, seems to be the lvm related problem already reported to this list). When I extract build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r4.tbz2 I can neither do env-update nor emerge rsync both complaining about make.profile not being where it should. Using build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r4.tbz2 and portage-20010827.tar.bz2 I could complete the bootstrap but emerge system first stopped on building diffutils complaining about makeinfo missing. After manually emerging texinfo I could resume emerge system but it stops again with netkit-telnet: make[1]: g++: command not found. Is there a better way to get gentoo on a CD-less machine (are there gentoo boot-floppies? Maybe the problem arises from the fact that I'm chrooting from a different system)? Or am I doing something seriously wrong? regards Tibor Rudas
