How does GRP work?

thanks for repost your suggestion but, in my case, I couldn't reboot because it is not a kernel on /boot.
There is not a kernel because I couldn't make a kernel with out the sources on /usr/src. There are no sources on /usr/src because when I emerge -K vanilla-sources or something; it didn't find them on disk and try to go to Internet to download.

First I tought the installation process will put a precompiled kernel on /boot. Then I learned that it had to be compliled. But I need to install it on a computer with very low bandwidth and I'd like to find out the right way to doit.

Anyway... I will continue trying to find out what I am doing wrong.

on my desperation, a began to play.
I had tried with gentoo-dev-sources, vanilla-sources and gentoo-sources: kernel 2.6, 2.4 patched and 2.4 default, in that order.

After start trying other posibilities, gs-sources did the trick. gs-sources is the kernel patched for server use.

After

emerge gs-sources

Now I have /usr/src/linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r2 sources installed and I will continue my installation.

I'm trying to install ussing GRP 2004.1, but sysvinit is not included on the athlon xp packages disc so it's failing. I have a wireless nic so I have to use GRP.
