The mirrorselect step happens before you chroot, so you use the copy of mirrorselect the minimal installcd provides. Hi Ben, actually I did not. I'm running here a EFI-System an usually boot ISO-Images with grub loopback-device. Unfortnately I could not manage to boot the gentoo-ISO. Thus I decided to install the gentoo basic system from my Ubuntu: I downloaded the stage 3 tarball and unpacked it to the desired Partition. After that I made the chroot and tried to setup the Kernel. Although it is not strikly followed the manual I don't think it's too unusual. And agreed, I found out by myself how to install the mirrorselect. But I think it would be helpful to mention how to get it as long as it is not part of the stage 3 tarball. So you may consider my proposal. kind regards Stefan we can't support every non-Gentoo CD out there. our docs pretty much expect you to be using our media, which provide the proper tools. documenting non-gentoo OS edge cases like this is beyond the scope of our guides, i think. |
