sounds like you missed section 4e, Mounting, of the handbook

Thanks guys:
I was absolutely sure I had done this, and that's why when the df -h
command didn't show me the drives, I thought I needed another command. I
went back, using the up-arrow, and discovered (what we'll call) a typo.
So now things are looking right. I've continued on from section 4e,
doing the stages thingie before doing the portage thingie. 'df -h' now
says that hda3 has 73G (but who is quibbling) and 941M used.
Thanks again for the help, I'm sure I'll be back again with another
problem, but I'll be watching my typing more closely.
Peter

It tells me there is no space left on device?
There's probably a clue in the my response to the other message, same

I suspect that things are not mounted the way I think they are.

As I watched the blur flashing by on the monitor, about 2/3 of
the way
through the lines began to rap. When the process stopped and I
could see
what was happening; after each tar command it was stating
"cannot write no space left on device."
This baffles me as 10 Gig should be plenty of space?
It is, but did you do "cd /mnt/gentoo" before extracting the files?
