"no such directory" while emerge --emptytree syste

apalos

Hello

I try to install gentoo since a few days. this is my second gentoo-install, but another computer. I realized some issues. I could resolve all of them, except the last one.
First I try to install 2005.0 stage 1, and all seems well until bootstrap.sh. It seems to me that emerge could not find all packages it needed, sometimes the host could't be connect, and sometimes the server don't have the packages I need.
OK, Perhaps you are to n00b, I think to myself. I began once again with makin' the Filesystems and mounting. then I start to install stage 2. Same thing, all seems well, and then I type

hmm ok emerge --emptytree system wasn't successful. I tried something else:
emerge --emptytree --fetchonly system
same thing. All packages was fetched, except readline. Is this a bug?

It's reported, but it should work nevertheless. Try running emerge --sync and retry.

Sorry to resurrect and old post, but I am having the same problem too.

I just recently installed 2005.1 on an old PII w/256 MB; however, I never could find the entry point into the stage 1 install, as I had done previously. So, having successfully completed the documented install, I wanted to re-compile everything, so it would be optimized for my box and USE flags.
