He's not using 1.5, I'm sure of that.  Achim, right now we're having
a problem where the old pkgmerge is broken, but the new pkgmerge is
incompatible with our 1.0_rc4_pre2 packages.  Do you think we could
release the "build.tbz2" (along with some documentation that I can write
on how to do the install) so that people can get a recent version of
Gentoo Linux installed?  I hate to see people running into this 
problem over and over again (due to 1.0_rc4_pre2 and its bugs).

You mean as a source-cd ? We must use the old bootimage system, because
the new one
is still in a very alpha state. 
The easiest whould be using our old bootimage and only replacing
sys.tbz2 and the packages (only the reworked ones).

I can write instructions for using build.tbz2 with an existing linux distro.
This way, we can just provide build.tbz2, and it will still be useful to a 
number of people.

This will only work if they have a recent enogh kernel (don't know the
exact requirements).
I got a kernel too old message from a Suse 64 (2.2.14) as I tried to
chroot to build.
I start making a build.tbz2 now. I'll additionally add wget to it.

[Tim van der Hulst]

and rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz

so this problem is solved... correct?
i just have to wait for your 1.5 release?

can someone explain to me what these build files are in the rc4 packages
directory and how we can use them?

Ok I see you need a rsync package for the new sys. I will upload one
tomorrow.

The build packages contain only a build environment. You need a running
distro to work with them.
You can build the whole distro with your prefered compile options from
within that.
