Maybe there is a mismatching between the portage snapshot and the files in the distfiles directory: in fact if you, for example, change from ppc to ~ppc the entry in the "KEYWORD" variable in the 'portage*.ebuild' scripts with version > 2.0.48-r1, that is the version that you have in the distfiles directory, then the bootstrap scripts doesn't try anymore to download the portage-2.0.48-r5 from the net. This should be fixed on the new LiveCDs. I want to reassign it to Pieter... And now the reminder stage1 can't be installed netless. Only stage3 with GRP is designed for a netless installation. |
Using a stage1 in a netless installation from the livecd-g3-grp-1.4-cd1.iso, even if you copy the source tarballs with 'cp -a /mnt/cdrom/distfiles/ /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/' then when you execute the bootstrap script it tries to download the source tarball again from the net, and the bootstrap process obviously fails. More precisely you get: Starting Bootstrap of base system ...

Couldn't download portage-2.0.48-r5.tar.bz2. Aborting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download the livecd-g3-grp-1.4-cd1.iso and burn it. 2.Boot from it and follow the step-by-step installation instructions 3. Actual Results: Boostrap process fails without emerging anything Expected Results: Installation should have used the portage snapshot and the sources extracted and copied from the cd
