Cant install funtoo from existing distro


aoeaoeaoeaoeaoeaoe

Question

So I found on gentoo wiki:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_alternatives#Installing_Gentoo_from_an_existing_Linux_distribution

root #env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
root #/usr/sbin/env-update
root #source /etc/profile 
But when I run second command after chrooting in
/usr/sbin/env-update

I get:

 

/usr/sbin/env-update 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/env-update", line 35, in <module>

Partition is mounted to correct directory and chrooting in works fine. There you go wiz'es, show me your magic!

Edit: huh, it creates that traceback no matter what emerge command I run... makes me 'tink 'dis eazy solushion...

 

Solved: I forgot to mount
 

# mount -t proc none proc
# mount --rbind /sys sys
# mount --rbind /dev dev

before chrooting. Totally not a noob.
