Hi there, I am working through the install guide (I have installed gentoo on other boxes without issues) - but this time, when I get to the

"emerge gentoo-sources"

bit, I am getting the error

"Error: the sys-apps/modutils package conflicts with another package"

it then has some instructions to do, in order to fix this - but when i try them, they do not fix the problem...

any help much appreciated!

thanks

I am afraid I can't at the moment (am at work and the problem is on my home machine) - so I will post again this evening.

(off of the top of my head, it doesn't give that much more information other than the package cconflict, what to do to fix it (which doesn't work), and then says do emerge --someswitch gentoo-sources in order to see what the conflicting package is...

will post again when I can establish more,

thanks v much
