Bootstrapping Error

Thursday, December 23rd, 2004 at 10:30 am

After getting this obscure error, I say “obscure” because Google only returns one result for it.

The error is caused by using the Knoppix /dev filesystem for the Gentoo install. The bootstrapping script tries to write to it and realizes it’s already full of stuff. The solution mentioned on the forums says to only mount the /dev/null from Knoppix (it’s needed for compiling). I’m trying that now. The bootstrapping script seems to have recognised some of the compiling that I have done, so hopefully it won’t take as long…

Also this morning I received my (well actually it was for my sister’s account) first piece of spam with a GPG signature on it.
