Gentoo Trouble - kernel download - emerge...
This is a discussion about Gentoo Trouble - kernel download - emerge... in the Everything Linux category; I'm tring to install Gentoo. So far I've gotten the latest set of portages, bootstraped, chroot to /mnt/gentoo, updated the environment var. , I got to the point where I install the kernel source. I typed in: Code:emerge usepkg vanilla-sources There are lines before this, but they're the usual environment checks.
