Hi! When I try to install gentoo off the 2006.0LiveCD the installer stops shortly after unpacking the portage tree. This is experienced on all stages, LiveCD and updated portage trees. I can only guess that something is wrong creating/using/modifying the chrooted make.conf (/mnt/gentoo/etc/). Any Ideas what I did wrong? Appended: 1. Error Msg. 2. Log output 3. xml-installprofile 1. chroot: cannot run command `etc-update': No such file or directory Exception received: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf' 2.

*** Bug 127878 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The install failed because you used your portage snapshot URI as your stage3 tarball URI, which means you got no stage3, and thus no working environment. Please try your installation again with a valid stage3 tarball URI or select Dynamic.
