Hi I would like to ask where is saved downloade portage and stage3(using links), because after some problems I had to restart my computer and I don´t want to download it again?

And what to use to edit make.conf(or some explanation, because nano -w/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf doesnt work there is nothing in that text file, that file is without text? or am I doing something wrong?

It is saved in whatever directory you launched links in. This may have been /home/gentoo (on the liveCD, in RAM). It could have been anywhere though.

If it was in RAM, it is lost, and you will have to download it again.

How to make it to be downloaded to disk not to RAM? Can you help?

assuming you mounted a hdd partition on /mnt/gentoo, then you just have to add /mnt/gentoo before the filename it is asking you to save (after you hit 'd' to download).

The download "window" should look like this

Code: Select all

/mnt/gentoo/stage3-x86-2007.0.tar.bz2
