Description Jim Steichen 2007-01-23 03:14:03 UTC
(${KN} is the kernel name, usually something like 'gentoo' or 'smp')
cdimage ~# cp /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/${KN} /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/${KN}.gz /mnt/gentoo/boot
cdimage ~# mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/lib/modules
cdiamge ~# cp -Rp /lib/modules/`uname -r` /mnt/gentoo/lib/modules

There is NO such file as isolinux/${KN}.gz on the livecd, there is a
isolinux/${KN}.igz file.  Is this what you mean?

Reproducible: Always




The entire instruction on how to install the kernel from a livecd should be re-written, explaining why System.map-2.6.x.y & kernel-2.6.x.y are not necessary in /boot for lilo to work, etc

Hmm, looks like 2006.1 x86 minimal livecd does indeed have .igz.
Comment 2 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-23 06:59:12 UTC
Fixed in CVS for all translations, since this was a typo fix on the filename.

Left out the bit on System.map; since they don't hurt anything, and the guide is neutral toward bootloader choice anyway. (Though grub is pretty much the default/assumed/"preferred" bootloader in the rest of our documentation.)
