If, when you run emerge commands later in this procedure, you see messages that files
are not found from any of the download sites, you might need to add other mirror sites
to the make.conf file.
15. Mount the file system. Mount the /proc file system as follows:
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
16. Change the root directory. Use the chroot command to change /mnt/gentoo to be
your root directory, but first copy the resolve.conf file so it can be used from there:
# cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
17. Update the Portage tree. Type the following command to have the latest package information
installed to your /usr/portage directory:
# emerge --sync
18. Update the environment. Read in environment variables as follows:
# env-update; source /etc/profile
19. Modify the make.conf file. Use the nano text editor to change the make.conf file that
is used to build your Gentoo system, because that is the text editor available at this point.
Use the -w option of nano so that configuration lines aren??™t wrapped around. (For more
nano options, type nano --help.)
# nano -w /etc/make.conf
If you don??™t know what to change, refer to the /etc/make.conf.example file for information
on the settings you may want to change before continuing.
