Hmm. 404 not found. And yes there is no rc-scripts-1.4.8 at oregonstate. Had a look at another mirror too and it was the same. Atleast i couldn't find it.
The closest version I found was 1.4.9.
Are you using an old LiveCD or something?

Edit:
found it here: http://gentoo.mirror.at.stealer.net/distfiles/rc-scripts-1.4.8.tar.bz2

I dont think so,

I downloaded the universal 2004.1 LiveCD

I guess i will have to redo the whole thing

Ill try downloading everything from the net instead.

Thank god i have a reasonbly fast Internet Connection.

Only problem i have had when i tried that the first time was i dont know how to download a whole directory with links2.

You are aware that the distfiles dir is, well, quite large to say the least

Try and put http://gentoo.mirror.at.stealer.net/ in your mirror list in make.conf.
Or you could do this:

I had the same exact problem. Try:

install continues (2004.1) shot self in foot, (accidentally opened stage 2 tarball over successful install - bugger) install goes well until `chroot' at which point nameserver wanders off somewhere. I am attempting a stage 1 this time (masochist) and have followed the instructions. when I reach `bootstrap.sh' the response is a series of attempted downloads, each followed by `... host not found'. It worked the first time, what am I doing wrong this time... yes I have checked resolv.conf (repeatedly)

did you run

moomintroll

don't know where the styles bit came from... Yes I did that (I read the latest FM ;-)

) I'm posting this on another console on the same machine, (hp omnibook 4150 - not `B', with xircom pccard ethernet) so I know net worx, nameserver worx and I did cp -L resolv.conf... which leaves me with a +5 huh??

i was hoping it was a simple omission

so its the same reaction no matter what mirror u choose? and you can ping or otherwise see the same mirrors?
have you tried the bootstrap.sh -f?
do u have a firewall up?

has to be an omission or network config issue- especially if you can resolve ips and hit the internet

(lol at 4150 - thats what hp gave me as my workstation back in 2001 a 500mhz i think or 450 p3 - i have a semi-new docking station if u want it u pay the shipping its yours free - im in the usa)
dang- im glad im not u- im doing a stage 1 for the second time in 1.5years- (1st time made me a slackware user) just emerged system this damn thing better be fast when im done

I redid everything yesterday, took almost the entire day to finish it. Actually it took the entire day.

What i did this time was to use everything from the net and not anything from the cd.

I also used a stage2 instead of the stage1.

I have the basic system up and running and now i am reading the XFree86 tutorial on http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-linuxxwin-i.html

I hope to get X running today

Its a lot of work but i think that in the end it will be worth it

I will remember that thing about doing a emerge sync next time i use a stage 1 before doing the bootstrap.

Thanks for all the help for now.

fscking headings that can't be changed SUCK!!! Do not think that i am unappreciative of any help. in LiveCD environment all is cool, in`chrooted' environment, it appears that dns doesn't work. /etc/resolv.conf is correct eth0 works from non-chrooted con (I'm posting this from it) it seems to be the env that is at fault. I know I've done something stupid, I've just missed it

Thanks to all who tried to advise me!

There is no `E' in resolv.conf (goes to stand in corner for two days)

Make sure when starting from stage 1 to run net-setup eth0. After doing so and before executing chroot don't forget
