Yeah and IF you look at the two handbooks, you will see that the handbook WITHOUT --emptytree is for installing from stage3, so that part is missed out completely. Again: the command for --emptytree is in the "Progressing from Stage2 to Stage3" section of the "Gentoo Handbook" The Gentoo 2005.1 Handbook does a stage3 install so that section is SKIPPED. Please note the prelude to the 2005.1 handbook: "Welcome to the Gentoo Linux 2005.1 Handbooks. These handbooks are released together with the Gentoo Linux releases and contain the necessary installation instructions to install Gentoo Linux 2005.1 WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION. However, IF YOU WANT to install Gentoo Linux using THE LATEST VERSIONS of all available packages, please USE the Installation Instructions in THE GENTOO LINUX HANDBOOK for your architecture. " Have you got it now??? (Sorry about the added SHOUTING, but I am sick of repeating myself) > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
