Description Cav Alier 2003-03-20 01:21:34 UTC

In the recently changed installation instructions ...

mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc 
is missing the "-o bind" and it doesn't seem to work without it ...

Also ...

You removed the following instructions (which come after emerge sync) 
completely ...

# export CONFIG_PROTECT="-*"
# export USE="-* bootstrap build"
# emerge portage
# unset USE

I don't know if this part is needed or not ... but thought you should know in 
case it was a mistake ...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3.

Fixed, please re-read doc

completely ...

# export CONFIG_PROTECT="-*"
# export USE="-* bootstrap build"
# emerge portage
# unset USE

Nope, portage has been updated to automate much of this ;)
