[gentoo] installation

[m.w.chang]

here

Code listing 9.2: Getting ready for GRP

# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/GRP
# mount -o bind /mnt/cdrom/gentoo/packages /mnt/gentoo/GRP

hmm... maybe I need to read something on the anotomy of the gentoo
distribution. I possibly missed a few pages in the user guide.

> I do not know what GRP is. In what context have you read this?

I supposed if I use stage3 from the LiveCD, nothing needs to be
downloaded from the net, right?

If I do everything from source codes (ie, everything pulled from net),
the installation process may take a whole day if not more. I would also
need a spare machine with a reliable ISP for that. That's comparable to
the effort involved in linuxfromscratch...
