 |
|
At the end of the download of the first of the 3 X86 files (stages) I get this message
| Code: | Out of Memory: Killed process 2872 (links)
Killed |
Is this a problem? or does that just mean links turns off at the end of the download? If it is a problem, how do I fix it?

Add some swap space - that's from oom_kill | Quote: | | The routines in this file are used to kill a process when we're seriously out of memory. |

| It sounds to me like you are downloading the stage tarball to your RAM instead of to /mnt/gentoo. Try it again but make sure that you save it to your harddisk and not the livecd's environment. |

make sure you have mounted your swap in the first place 
or whatever your swap partition is.

Good point - pays to remember the environment involved. |
