Code listing 8.4: Copying GRP files

Lists the wrong command to copy packages- it put them into a "packages"
subdirectory in the packages directory.

The correct command syntax is listed in-

I'm not sticking my hands out, but after all the fuzz about the GRP I'm
rather sure that the commands now work (roger55?)

The difference is that, when reaching 8.4, there is no subdir All/ yet, while
in 25.2 there is. That's one of the reasons they are different.

I also haven't seen any bugreports on GRP anymore since the last GRP-change.

Patch to installation guide

Hi,

I was too late to comment on a bug, but I'd like to apply the following patch
to the installation guide too:

--- ../cvs/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml	2003-09-04 10:05:27.000000000 +0200
+++ gentoo-x86-install.xml	2003-09-04 10:10:16.000000000 +0200
 <at>  <at>  -1816,8 +1816,9  <at>  <at> 

 <warn>
 Use something like the <path>/etc/fstab</path> listed below, but of course be 
-sure to replace "BOOT", "ROOT" and "SWAP" with the actual block devices you 
-are using (such as <c>hda1</c>, etc.):
+sure to replace "BOOT", "ROOT" and "SWAP" with the actual block devices (such 
+as <c>hda1</c>, etc.) and "ext2" and "ext3" with the actual filesystems you 
+are using:
 </warn>

 <pre caption="Editing fstab">

Any objections?

Wkr,
	Sven Vermeulen

Fwd: gentoo-x86-install: Listing 8.6: mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc

----- Forwarded message from Jonas Bandi <jbandi <at> scs.ch> -----

Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2003 16:11:09 +0200
From: Jonas Bandi <jbandi <at> scs.ch>
To: www <at> gentoo.org
Subject: gentoo-x86-install: Listing 8.6: mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc

Hello,

I think in the current gentoo-x86-install guide is missing a detail:

In code listing 8.6:

Shouldnt there be a line like:

# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc

at the very beginning?

I installed from stage1 and the /proc directory did not exist, so "mount 
-t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc" fails.
I did not care, but after rebooting with the new system the booting 
froze at "mounting /proc". First I thought something was wrong with my 
kernel-configuration, until I realized that I only had to create the 
directory ...

Perhaps I made mistake and deleted the /proc directory some when during 
the installation without noticing. But if thats not the case this could 
be an issue for newbies (like me).

$ tar tvjpf /stage1-x86-1.4-20030806.tar.bz2 | grep proc
[...]
drwxr-xr-x 0/0               0 2003-08-07 04:23:21 ./proc/

So this stage1 contains a /proc directory; What datestamp (for the stage1)    
did you use?

Wkr,

You are completely right there is a /proc, I could have checked first 
myself ...

Sorry for the mess.
