While installing Gentoo on my machine, from stage 1 without network (or internet connection), I probably found a bug in the Alternative Installation Methods concerning installing Gentoo without connection. When I was reading this document and parallely doing the same things in my computer I encountered something like this: # cp /mnt/gentoo/mnt/cdrom2/portage-$date.tar.bz2 /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage # cd /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage # tar xvjpf portage-$date.tar.bz2 I'm convinced that extracting portage-...tar.bz2 in .../usr/portage is wrong cause all the files are extracted in the new directory named /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/portage. For me this is senceless as we wish to update our portage tree to get the latest software (packages). Thus I think that it should look like this: # cp /mnt/gentoo/mnt/cdrom2/portage-$date.tar.bz2 /mnt/gentoo/usr # cd /mnt/gentoo/usr # tar -xvjpf portage-$date.tar.bz2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
