Description Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-21 07:11:06 UTC
The UML guide is excellent. I used it to get my own UML working prett quickly. 
Except I skipped the uml-sources stuff because I was on a RedHat box (no .. 
don't stone me yet. :)

Anyway, here are a number of corrections that I think should be included:

1. Where it says edit "sys-apps/grub", it should be changed to "virtual/bootloader".
2. At least for portage-2.0.47-r2, you need to "emerge rsync" before env-update,
or else it will be missing some parts. This is done using the stage2 tarball.
3. Because we've already done the "emerge rsync" (change no. 2) then we don't
need another emerge rsync afterwards.
4. Code sample 2.5 needs to add : "cd /mnt/gentoo" before the tar command. Just
to be explicit.
5.  Also, just before Code Sample 2.5, you should add a hint saying you should 
set your root password (passwd) and also may want to  follow the "Final Steps" 
in the Gentoo Install Guide. That bit me a little because I forgot to set my 
root password in the chroot, so I had to mount the image, chroot and set it 
before i could continue :)

Thats all folks.
