 |
|
ok i run this command...
| Code: | | mirrorselect -a -s4 -o | grep 'GENTOO_MIRRORS=' >> /mnt/gentoo/make.conf |
then when i try to emerge something, i get "address family not supported by this protocol" or something ot that effect
i noticed of the 4 mirrors it put into my make.conf file, 3 of them were ip6 addresses "ftp6, or they had ipv6 in the address somewhere
the other one gave me the error "no route to host" 4 out of 5 times, so i can't emerge kde very well! it will take like 100 years!
any ideas why this happens, or can i find a list of mirrors somewhere to put in?

Same thing happened to me,just remove the mirrors I saw somewhere on the forum to manually select mirrors mirrorselect -i and something can't remember but it works great.Here it is
| Code: | | mirrorselect -i >> /etc/make.conf |
so for your situation
| Code: | | mirrorselect -i >> /mnt/gentoo/make.conf |

Or just manually add it in by hand. Look in /etc/make.conf.sample (or in your case, /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf.sample). Then again, you don't need to include "mirror_select" because it will use the default one. I didn't run that command and it downloaded just fine when I first installed it. Then, I went into the mirror sites and selected the one that is closest to me and included that in my /etc/make.conf.

It should be noted that if you don't specify the '-o' option with mirrorselect in interactive mode, what's dumped into your file will contain a good deal of garbage.
Learned that one by experience. |
