Gentoo from an Ubuntu installation. Just a couple of things for
you to keep in mind (I don't know if they will apply in your
case): - When chrooting, use the following command to flush your
environment:
# env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# /usr/sbin/env-update
# source /etc/profile
- When you are asked to mount the proc system, in the gentoo
handbook, issue the following command instead:
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
- In order to get the network working in a chrooted enviroment you
will need to copy the /etc/resolv.conf from the working system.
In summary, the Gentoo handbook is your workhorse during the
installation process. You only need to be careful about the particular
details that I mentioned (and that are scattered all over the Gentoo
documentation).
Good luck,
Damian.
