I got the the point where the cron daemon is to be installed but the vixie cron emerge fails because it doesn't like something in a Gentoo-specific patch. Here is the output from the emerge: cdimage linux # emerge sys-apps/vcron Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/vcron-3.0.1-r1 to / >>> md5 ;-) vixie-cron-3.0.1.tar.bz2 >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking vixie-cron-3.0.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/vcron-3.0.1-r1/work * Applying vixie-cron-3.0.1-gentoo.patch... * Failed Patch: vixie-cron-3.0.1-gentoo.patch! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/vcron-3.0.1-r1/temp/vixie-cron-3.0.1-gentoo.patch-15953.out !!!
