 |
|
I'm some what of a n00b but I managed to get the kernel compiled and grub installed. Now when I try to emerge metalog and uixie-crom Portage can not find any download sites. I either get failed connection or file not found error from all the sites. Can I get the needed files manually? All the other packages installed just fine including grub. Oh yeah I also updated the tree. Didn't help....
Thanks,
A.J. |

Not sure how to do that although I did run the mirrorselect on my make.conf even though this was "optional" in chapter 6 of install guide.

yes this has happened to me at various times during my many installation attempts.
for me i couldnt emerge metalog, vixie-cron, slocate, e100 and dhcpcd...so what i did was try at another time during the day. i tried this installation at about midnight and voila everything emerged...
i hope this helps you..YMMV |

No problem,look at /etc/make.conf
| Code: | | nano -w /etc/make.conf |
and remove the stuff mirrorselect put in there,here is mine
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="apache2 cddb gimp gtkhtml imagemagick imlib2 java mmx mmx2 mp3 \
mplayer nvidia ppds sse sse2 syslog -oss -arts -kde -libg -qt \
-quicktime"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
PORTAGE_NICENESS=3
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
FEATURES="sandbox ccache candy"
CCACHE_SIZE="2G"
This way you will use the default mirror and it works good for me,I had the same problem with mirrorselect and I'm not alone.good luck

Yeah after removing the mirrorselect the frist attempt connected. What is the point of mirrorselect then? And yeah I'm not going to mistype that AGAIN!
