It comes with Ubuntu, so naturally my first move was to split the Ubuntu
partition in half and install gentoo. I will say no more about my first
experiences with Unity.
The Ubunto uname -a says "3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC
2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux".
Take note - it's a x86_64 host environment.
I installed the latest stage3 tarball and set up make.conf as
Which stage3 tarball exactly?
Maybe that's part of my confusion -- I was following the x86 handbook, not
amd64, because it's not amd. But if amd64 should be used for all 64 bit
installs, that's probably my problem.
As for the exact stage3 tarball, the ftp choice was
"gentoo/releases/x86/current-stage3". This was about Sep 10.
It will work if you chroot as described in my previous message. linux32
is a symlink to setarch so you can read the setarch manpage if you're
curious as to why it is necessary. Still, unless you have a particular
reason not to avoid using an amd64 stage tarball, I'd suggest starting
over with one.
