Description Ron OHara 2013-10-26 04:22:48 UTC
The i486 stage3 tarball does not work at the emerge-webrsync step of the documented install.

livecd / # emerge-webrsync
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf refers to repository without repository name set in '/usr/portage/profiles/repo_name'
emerge-webrsync: error: Repository 'gentoo' not found


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow instructions on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml for an i486 install rather than an i686 install
2. get to the Code Listing 2.15 step ...  emerge-webrsync
3.
Actual Results:  
livecd / # emerge-webrsync
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf refers to repository without repository name set in '/usr/portage/profiles/repo_name'
emerge-webrsync: error: Repository 'gentoo' not found


Expected Results:  
download of portage for next step of install

workaround.

before the emerge-webrsync command, do this:

mkdir /usr/portage/profiles
echo gentoo >/usr/portage/profiles/repo_name

then continue the install as documented.

emerge-webrsync
