I am download ISO files (dated 20 may 2002).

I am boot and did how-to entryes (all run OK):
Code:
...
emerge rsync
rm etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-sparc64-1.0 /etc/make.profile


But, on this poing I am type:
Code:
scripts/bootstrap.sh


I see this output:
Code:
Using somepackages
...
Using somepackages
Calculating dependencies

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/portage-1.8.9_pre25" have been masked.
Calculating dependencies

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.7.3" have been masked.


I see what this is error (emerge system give me similar output).

First, I think you're trying to link to some *very* old sparc64 profiles.

Run this command instead:
Code:
rm etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-sparc64-1.4 /etc/make.profile


The current (or what will be) version of Gentoo will be 1.4, and this appears to include x86, PPC, and sparc/sparc64, so you'll wanna symlink to there.

You might also want to take a look at the messages I traded back and forth with another user in this thread: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=13072 on getting gentoo 1.4/sparc64 to install to a Sun Blade 100 system.

Thank you very much. Your advice help my fully :-) I succesefully install gentoo linux on my sun ultra V.

But I have next trouble: I want to install ppp package. But I see this message:
Code:
emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy "ppp" have been masked


If I type: emerge search ppp
I see:
Code:

[ Results for search key : ppp ]                             
[ Applications found : 7 ]                                   
                                                             
*  net-dialup/ppp [ Masked ]                                 
      Latest version available: 2.4.1-r11                     
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]             
      Homepage: http://www.samba.org/ppp                     
      Description: Point-to-point protocol - patched for pppoe
... etc


What is mean "masked" message? And how I am may install ppp package?

Thank you again :-)

You'll want to refer to the Portage Manual, as masking is a form of hiding ebuild files for testing. Once those ebuilds have been fully tested to work, they are unmasked, and can then be installed on the machine.

The file that masks other ebuilds is in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but for further information, I advise on reading the Portage Manual linked above, as it'll explain far better than I can.
