[gentoo-user] newbie install - emerge: command not found

[Assaf Urieli <assaf@joli-ciel.com>]

Hi all,

I've followed the installation instructions at:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/handbook-x86.xml

I've manually configured the kernel.
Since I have an ATI graphics card, I used the configuration parameters
as per:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
All other kernel configuration parameters were left at the default (I
think).

I decided to use GRUB. My grub.conf looks like this:
**********
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
**********

So, when I restart, everything looks allright. Grub asks me to choose
Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6, which I do. I can then login fine.
But when I try to run the emerge command, I get:
emerge: command not found (no surprise, it's not in /bin).

So, I went back to the installation CD, chrooted back into my
installation environment, and did "emerge portage".
The emerge portage claimed to work, but when I rebooted again without
the CD, I still get the same message.
(PS the adduser command described in the installation docs,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.1/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=11
is missing as well)

Have I missed a step?

Best regards,
