When i tried to initiate the selecting fast mirrors section of the install prior to emerge, the line of syntax; mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRRORS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf failed to execute. although the doco says this isnt a problem, when i inputed; mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRROS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf notice the spelling mistake in "MIRRO(R)S" the line of code executed and seemed to do what ever it was supposed to do. although i can swear black and blue about this as i have actually documented the syntax for my current install, due to previous failures i thought this might be worth looking at. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. was installing according to the gentoo handbook 2. got to --> mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRRORS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf 3.accidentally entered :mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRROS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf and it worked. Actual Results: during a previous attempt at install the full correct command did not execute : mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRRORS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf with my current install; mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRROS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf The command ran, and i havent looked back or tried to re-create the error. Expected Results: exactly what the handbook has described for this command, however a spelling mistake has resulted in the correct execution of the code, whereas the correct syntax hasnt (sounds dumb i know, im willing accept its me)
I imagine it worked, as it has a default anyway. It's difficult to wrap one's head around working/non-broken reports.
