Another option is that you have mounted the device already. Do you have anything else on the disk? Another partition or filesystem? Something that you don't wanna loose? If not, I suggest you tell the installer to format the partitions... > #### clientconfiguratin.xml > > > > > 192.168.1.2 > > > > 192.168.1.30 > > > > > False > > > False > > > normal > > > /mnt/gentoo > > > > static > > > 255.255.255.0 > > > /var/log/installer.log > > > eth0 > > > ********************************** > > > > x86 > > > 192.168.1.255 > > > True > > > 192.168.1.2 > > > > > > > #### installprofile.xml > > > > genkernel > > > vixie-cron > > > localdomain > > > file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2 > > > livecd-kernel > > > False > > > America/New_York > > > False > > > /dev/sda > > > True > > > False > > > True > > > localhost > > > > > > 3 > > > > > > grub > > > $1$a.PHSveD$04QXafey77sXdPqi2QBvW/ > > > > > True > > > syslog-ng > > > > snapshot > > > True > > > False > > > 192.168.1.2 > > > > > eth0 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > /bin/nano > > > > > Yes > > > > > > X alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cli crypt ctype cups dba eds elibc_glibc emboss encode esd ethereal exif expat fam fastbuild foomaticdb force-cgi-redirect fortran ftp gd gdbm gif glut gmp gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile idn imlib ipv6 jpeg kde kernel_linux lcms libg++ libwww mad memlimit mikmod mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png posix python qt quicktime readline samba sdl session simplexml slang soap sockets spell spl ssl tcltk tcpd tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev userland_GNU vorbis x86 xml xml2 xmms xsl xv zlib > > > > > -march=i686 -O2 -pipe > > > > > UTC > > > > > > > > > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
