Bootstrapping the System

Okay then, take your keyboard and punch in the next commands to start the bootstrap. Then go amuse yourself with something else because this step takes quite some time to finish.

Code Listing 13: Bootstrapping the system

# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
ran the script and came out with and unboundlocalerror
Quote:
...
File "/usr/lib/portage/pyn/portage.py", line 2420, in movefile
print "!!!",dest,"->",target
UnboundLocalError: local veriable 'target' referenced before assignment
searched around for an answer, but nothing was really found on the topic except some stuff about CUPS doing a similar 'unboundlocalerror' ???

thank you in advance

UnboundLocalError is a standard python error. Not quite sure why you would be getting that bootstrapping gentoo though.
