base system and hsfmodem

I have winmodem that works in my current system (redhat, kernel 2.4.20-8, hsflinmodem driver for this kernel only).
I untarred stage1 according manuals, now need to fetch packages. That means I need to install a proper kernel and this modem driver, but it requires a lot of packages... to fetch!!!
Can I establish a connection in my main system, but do emerge in base gentoo (chroot), that's how to let it know that a proper port (or what) is opened?
Or... what else?

Yes, if you open the connection in redhat, it should work for downloading packages. But downloading everything for a stage1 install on dial-up will take an amazingly long time

You'll only need to get the kernel and hfslinmodem driver at the end of the install.

Oh, the problem's solved, thank you very much

This forum's people advised to cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc helped, as simple as this

Thanks!
