Got Distfiles

Since I use 56K internet access :oops:

, I was able to burn most of the files I need from the distfiles online location.

One file I didn't see was XFree86 files. Did I overlook it?

Also will these files work with any other version of Linux or just Gentoo?

Thnx.

They are those X420src-n.tgz files.

Thanks for the link...I got it now. But i'm still having problems with the installation of Gentoo.

After everything is done, and it comes to the part of unmounting those /mnt/gentoo mounts points, it doesn't seem to be there once I've compiled my kernel. I think its at that point when I noticed it.

I do a Stage 3 installed from CD. When I give the umount /mnt/gentoo/boot command I get a Device not found or similar error message. Then I do the mount command to view what is mounted, only thing I see is /dev/ROOT and my floppy & cdrom drives.

I"m at work now and can't give the exact problem but this is very close to what happens. I also tried installing Grub for a triple boot with Win 98/XP but it didn't work.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thnx.
