Greetings gentoo users.

I am attempting to build a gentoo configuration using the universal live cd
image.

I am using the stage1 tarball.
I have untarred the portage archive into /usr
I have copied over the distribution files as directed.

As a side note I have no network as of yet. I can load the appropriate
modules for my NIC but adsl-start just times out. No problem, I can probably
configure the dialer later.

However, I am now at the bootstrap stage of chapter 6.

When I run /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh I get a screen that is telling
me that various ftp sites are being polled to see if a file can be
located...then the script fails telling me it failed to locate some
portate*.tar.bz2 archive.

I didn't use the -f flag with the script. Why is it trying to find a file
when all the files should already be in place?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
dk

i don't think that stage1 countains any sources. you can download it
manually and place in /usr/portage/distfiles, howerem it would be more
comfortable if you'd set your network configuration as soon as it's
possible

pozdr. aye
