Hi,

it seems that either your cdrom drive is broken or (more probable) the cdrom media is broken --> in the latter case the error should be resolved if you burn a new cd.

Is this the first time you've used this live cd. It may be damaged physicaly or it may not have burned properly. If possible try burning another CD and try again. This time use data verification in the burning program if possible.

thanks for the advice, when i tried to actually unpack it from the cd instead of listing it, there was a corrupt file so i just downloaded the portage snapshot from the internet and it worked

Good to hear.

Please put a [SOLVED] in the title.

Cheers, R.
