Nice reading ... 5.8. ... Mount /proc to your diskless directory and chroot into it to continue with the install. We are chrooting into /proc ??? ;) 6. ...untar the tarball that is mounted... We can mount tarballs ??? ;) So far, so god. Thanks for the replies. Making /mnt/gentoo and mount the CD via NFS could do the trick. Regards Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
