I'm doing everything as root, as one would when installing or repairing the system. I never have got chrooting working as an ordinary user. I installed both the rescue system and the main system from the current installation CD, whichever that was - 2007.1, I think. In each case, I continued the installation to build the system I wanted: KDE on the main system and only a few tools on the rescue system. I didn't mess about with essential system components like bash. Is it possible that chrooting from one bash version to another is my problem? I think they're the same, and it'll take me some time to check. Or maybe the problem is in the chroot function in the system I'm leaving. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
