Hey all,
 
A couple days ago my main box died so I'm trying to restore it. I've only got a old Gentoo Live-CD (2004.2) so I'm using that. I'm doing a Stage 1 installation.
 
When I get to the step of Bootstrapping the compiler I get the following error:
* Error: ' ' does not exist. Exiting
 
In looking at scripts/bootstrap.sh
 
I see that the error will be displayed if /etc/make.profile is not a valid file. (at least that's  what I  think I read).
 
My 2 questions are:
 
1.  Why  am I getting that error?
2.  Why is /etc/make.profile not getting created?  # I'm assuming it should be getting created when I unpack portage.
