Need Gentoo Stage 3 Assistance

mrde50garfield · 01-02-2004, 11:46 AM

After reading Gentoo's x86 installation instructions and their "quick install reference, I'm still a bit confused as to which instructions apply and do not apply to which stage of the installation.

When doing a Stage 3 install from local disk, which instructions should be ignored?

I am not quite understanding your question. You may need to rephrase it a little. They offer both a stage3 and stage3 GRP. I think the difference is with the GRP you do not need an internet connection.

I just reread your question. You say from a local disk, so does that mean you are not using the internet to install?

just skip the obvious steps... 11. Starting from Stage1 and 12. Starting from Stage2 and continuing Stage1

Actually, you're right... I didn't phrase my question too coherently. My bad!

What I'm asking is for specific instructions for the Stage 3 "insternet-less" install for the Pentium 3 2-disc set.

The URL above is actually the instructions that confused me. Id does not specify "If you're doing a stage 3 internet-less install, do only these steps..."

That's whats confusing me.

Thanks your your time!

trust me, I am no genius. The instuctions are pretty clear. Just follow them closesly and slowly one at a time. It helped me to print out the whole guide. I was able to relax and read it that way. I also had it right by me when I installed. Good luck
