RE: [gentoo-user] LiveCD and Mtools
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!

[ebuild N] app-admin/mtools-3.9.8-r1 Are you sure mtools is on CD2? If so, mount CD2. Then do this: # ls /mnt/cdrom/packages/All/mtools* (to see if it's on the CD) # cp /mnt/cdrom/packages/All/mtools* \ /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages/All/ (to copy it to your Gentoo install) Another option to get that stuff off the floppy is to simply mount the floppy normally. # mount -t fat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Then copy the files from there normally. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
