Huh? Am I missing something? (quite possibly.) 1) If you're in the chroot environment in the term, then the Gentoo partitions must be mounted, and you presumably mounted them under Knoppix (prior to chrooting). So how did you mount them that you don't have permissions to write to them? How did you get the Stage Tarball, then? and how can you install Gentoo at all, or are you saying that you only have write permissions to the Gentoo partitions when chrooted? 2) IIrc (I've installed under Knoppix, but it was a while ago, so I'm a bit foggy), Knoppix does allow you to write to the RAM disk while it's running (I'm fairly sure of this, because I had to do that to download and install the LVM 'drivers' before I could install Gentoo with LVM2). So you should be able to download to that folder (iirc, it's kinda hard to find; if you try to download to the default directory, it won't work, but if you go up to the Knoppix / and then drill down, you can get to the RAM disk folder, where you can save to disk (and then copy the file to the mounted Gentoo partition). > I tried to download from another computer, through ssh.

When you run the ebuild, you'll get the fetch restriction message, but that message will include the exact link to download the file (it uses variables for the version number, so you have to run the ebuild to get the precise link). Copy that link and paste/type it into the other computer's browser. Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
