Description Marko Djukic 2003-08-09 09:56:01 UTC

In the install manual it mentions to do the following:

  Code listing 16.2: Emerging genkernel

  # emerge -k genkernel

However, doing a no-network install (cd1+cd2) it tried to download the genkernel
package and obviously failed.

Fixed it by actually doing:
  # emerge -k /usr/portage/packages/All/genkernel-1.5.tbz2

It shouldn't "obviously" fail, it really should work as mentioned :/ THere are several reports on GRP failures, I think they all are a result of one failure.

Installation instructions are now fixed. Closing...
