refering to the amd64 handbook, at gentoo.org "downloading the stage tarball" where it says " Downloading the stage tarball Go to the Gentoo mount point where the root file system is mounted (most likely /mnt/gentoo): root #cd /mnt/gentoo"
does that mean to change to where gentoo will be installed, or where the cd/dvd is mounted? i'm using a gentoo live dvd. seriously just trying to get a basic install to start with. i ask because it doesn't seem reasonable (to my ignorant brain) to download to the ram drive created by the install dvd, if so then so, whatever works. life is a learning process, those who've chosen to stop learning have chosen to stop living in a meaningful was. i may trip sometimes, but i am always, always trying to learn, especially when it's "inconvenient". thanks to all those intending to help. i have never cross posted, if this email appears anywhere other than "gentoo-u...@list.gentoo.org please check the headers, it wasn't me, was never that ignorant nor arrogant. -- Securely sent with Tutanota.
