Step 14 has an ambiguity which caused an error. Step 9 says chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... # source /etc/profile. But step 14 later, when you download gentoo-sources gave me an error. The error said cannot find /mnt/gentoo, which leads me to believe that step 14 needed to be run before you chroot. Perhaps this is not a documentation error but simply a bug in the gentoo-sources; in any case, it needs to be looked at. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=23965 I've read this document several times and I still cannot figure out what steps you are supposed to do for a stage 3 install. Based on what I read, I'm supposed to skip from Step 10 emerge sync to Step 14. But then in the middle of this, the documentation says: Important: It is extremely important that this step is completed, no matter which stage tarball you use. Major clock drift will be experienced if you do not set localtime correctly, let alone subtle issues when emerging packages later. At this point, you should have a stage2 system that's ready for final configuration. We'll start this process by setting the timezone. By setting the timezone before building the kernel we ensure that users get reasonable uname -a output. ************************ But wait. Didn't the documentation just say that these parts could be skipped? And doesn't the sentence "at this point, you..." imply that this step is only for people in the middle of a stage 2 install? Perhaps each step could have a number in parenthesis indicating what stage should be running this step).
I fixed the wording of this whole thing. The steps should be more clearer now. //ZhEN
