Description Jonathan 2004-03-26 16:20:18 UTC 
"cp /mnt/cdrom/distfiles/* /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/"
does not copy subdirectories from the cd. the Gentoo Linux Install Reference at "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml" does a better job with this step, ie.. "cp -R /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles"

distfiles doesnt contain directories (or rather, it shouldnt)

the only exception is 'cvs-src' which really doesnt matter
Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-28 05:32:11 UTC 
marking as invalid; I hate changing cp-instructions (historically it always resulted in a cascade of updates) and as the current ones work, we don't touch them.
