problems installing gentoo linux

Cipher3D · 2004-03-08T22:49:16

i burned the 2004.0 universal iso, i partition my drive, reboot the system, load up gentoo livecd, mount the linux partition to mnt/gentoo, and i untar the stage/stage3-pentium4-2004 blah blah blah to the /mnt/gentoo directory. all is well - but in the bin directory, there is NO make, NO env-update, NO emerge...everytime i type make, or env-update, it says "bash: no command called make" or something like that.. something wrong?

Windows will happily boot from a grub MBR. You just need to configure grub for the job.

From the install docs:

# The next three lines are only if you dualboot with a Windows system.
# In this case, Windows is hosted on /dev/hda6.
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,5)
chainloader +1

Add that to your grub.conf (changing the root (hdx,y) location as required) and you should have windows up & running again.

heh, i followed the directions exactly, and that was the problem - my harddrives were partioned differently...they assumed a single harddrive
