I've just installed Gentoo successfully on my netbook,but i can't connect ti the internet because i forgot to install wireless tools.I tried to chroot and install the the wireless tool from the gentoo live usb,but the connection works only outside the chroot envoirment :( How fan i solve this problem? I can't just use the ethernet connect because i use library's free wifi.
Thanks

branch-delay-slot ... this sounds as though you'd forgotten to copy /etc/resolv.conf to the chroot, or haven't --bind mounted /proc and /sys (as per the Handbook).

best ... khay
