Gentoo and Archlinux Disc


Hi all. I am using an Arch disc to install Gentoo. However, they mount on /mnt. Will this work with Gentoo installation, since they call for /mnt/gentoo?

It really doesn't matter where you mount it, as long as you use that same path throughout all the process.

Being that said, you should really stick to /mnt/gentoo, because a) it clearly express what's in there, b) will avoid silly errors, c) if you mount gentoo in /mnt when everything else that's mounted under /mnt/whatever will not be reachable.

I really doubt arch mounts anything directly in /mnt. They, just like all linuxes, surely mount stuff in subdirectories under /mnt.
