Stage two install prob

[nwoods29321]

I am trying to install gentoo 2005.0 using stage 2 athlon xp and everytime I "emerge --emptytree system" it either freezes or randomly seg faults.

why are you doing emerge --emptytree system?? just do emerge system

[nwoods29321]

I was using "emerge --emptytree system" because that is waht the handbook at gentoo.org says to use.

Are you sure it was --emptytree and not emerge -e system?

And if it was emptytree, could you c&p it? I couldn't find where it said anything about emptytree.

Building the System

To start building the system, execute emerge --emptytree system. Then go do something to keep your mind busy, because this step takes a long time to complete.

Code Listing 20: Building the System

# emerge --emptytree system

I stand corrected.

So, what happens if you do "emerge system"?
Or "emerge -emptytree system"?

please post your /etc/make.conf file and the output from cat /proc/cpuinfo

So, what happens if you do "emerge system"?

It installs everything in the "system"-profile, which I beleve contains some core parts of the system. Another profile, called "world", contains every installed package, so "emerge -u world" would try updating every installed package on the system.
