Description Aquila 2004-04-12 06:25:14 UTC

I am not sure about these things so don't shoot me if I'm wrong, but the described methods didn't work.

In Code Listing 2.2 the following:
"tar xvjpf /path/to/build-<TAB>.tar.bz2"
is wrong imho: it should be stage-<TAB>.tar.bz2, right?

The virtual/bootloader can't be found in /etc/make.profile/packages, should it be something else?

tar xvjpf gentoo.tbz2 -C /mnt/loop gave the following error:
tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option
Try `tar --help' for more information.
cd /mnt/loop
tar xvjpf gentoo.tbz2
cd 
umount /mnt/loop
did the same job (I assume), altough as you see I had to leave the dir before umounting it

the use of the directory /usr/local/bin for linux causes problems: that's not in my root's PATH, so I have to either switch to a regular user or listing 2.9 should use an absolute path

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to install uml :-)

Actual Results:  
I had to improvise...

I've fixed most things, except the tar error you've received. This is because you tried "tar xvjpf ... -c ..." instead of "tar xvjpf ... -C ..." (capital C).

Thanks for reporting!
