RE: [gentoo-dev] Re: Problems with initial gentoo rc5 binary inst all - GRUB

Gotcha.  I have the symlink setup, however, the only file I have in
there make.defaults.  I think this make all stem back to the fact that I
cannot run emerge rsync.

What do you think?

You should have /etc/make.profile be a symbolic link to
/usr/portage/profiles/default.  That should take care of the 
/etc/make.profile/virtuals error.

Also, you need to do 
  emerge --usepkg /mnt/cdrom/gentoo/packages/All/gnome-1.4-r1.tbz2
so that emerge knows to get dependencies from the binaries in PKGDIR.

I hope that helps,
Grant
