 |
|
| While I was doing the install I forgot to copy over the resolve.conf file. I am now at the stage where I am running the emerge sync and it won't resolve...duh. so is the old resolve.conf file still around somewhere I can copy it? If not could someone post there contents so I can make it? |

the resolv.conf file is just your network domain information and your DNS information
it should look similar to this
| Code: |
domain your.domain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
|
The xxx are the DNS info (if you had any). You should add as many as you need to.
Hope this helps some

It can contain other things but at its most basic:
| Code: |
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
|
Where the'x's are the ip address of your (or your ISP's) nameserver, you can
have multple 'nameserver' entries if (as is usual) there is more than one nameserver.
Be aware that if you are using DHCP, the client can overwrite your resolve.conf file. |

I'm assuming you are in your chrooted env right?
Do this:
| Code: |
# exit (this brings you back to the livecd)
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# emerge sync

The only thing required in a resolv.conf file is a nameserver - your nameserver, i.e. mine or anyone else's won't help you one bit.
If you don't know it, because you're on dhcp for example, then you can easily exit the chroot, copy it over and chroot again.
Nothing will be lost, since that is in effect all that's really happened so far.
