You have to create the file yourself, and yes, make.conf.example does exist; it is created when you unpack the stage. Furthermore, even just creating a minimal make.conf from the examples listed in the handbook is quite sufficient. If you've managed to reboot into your new system without a make.conf.example or make.conf, that's indicative of user error.

"/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf no longer exists" was the issue. > Furthermore, even just creating a minimal make.conf from the examples listed in > the handbook is quite sufficient.

Thanks for the quick response.

My bad :) I still think copying it would be better, but that can wait. |
