Hmmm - I copied them as it said under section 25 of the installation document:
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages/* /usr/portage/packages/ I don't see an mtools package located in the packages/All directory. The only one I find is in: /usr/portage/app-admin/mtools Should I be pulling the mtools from somewhere else off CD2 and putting them in the packages directory? There are packages listed under All.. but no mtools. When I run emerge -kp mtools I get: ----------- These are the packages that I would emerge, in order: Calculating depencies ...done!
