Hi,

Not sure if you're the right person…

There seems to be a small error in the Gentoo Linux 2005.1 x86 Handbook.

In section 5.d Installing Portage from CD is asks the user to work with
the snapshots directory.

On the CD I downloaded from the Gentoo website, the directory is called
snapshot, not snapshots.

Forgive me if you're already aware of this. I know very little about
Linux and am following the instructions carefully - which are so far
excellent by the way.

Regards,

Bob Gray.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your email.
It was a bug on the 2005.1 CDs and has been fixed on the refreshed 2005.1-r1
versions. FYI:

The 2005.1-r1 CD fixed this.
