Hi, im installing gentoo, i installed stage1, then i configured make.conf, obviusly i installed portage. and when i try to sync emerge (emerge sync) it downloads 1 file, timestamp, and then it freeze in recieving file list. and 2 or 3 minutes later it says that is impossible to contact the server, and it retries 3 times... but nothing

Any idea? i dont know what to do... i have tryed to install gento a lot of times, with livecd, and now im installing in text mode with minimal cd 2006.0 :S

Well from my experience over the long weekend with the LiveCD i would say do not install using the liveCD. It caused me grief.

So what I did was loaded the liveCD and then used a console session to install Gentoo manually - much better as you have more control.

Try it with the LiveCD - and stage 3 tarball.

have you set your sync location int he make.conf?
Mine is SYNC=rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
and works fine.

i tried, but i cant... i introduced in mi make.conf this
SYNC=rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
and i tried with europe, samerica and some others... but i cant, when i put emerge sync it recive the timestamp, and then it start downloading files: 100, 200,... and then it says 180 seconds passed retry 2 of 3 and when it stops retying it says that i have to try with emerge-webrsync, any idea apart of doing emerge-rsync?? i think that this is a common bug, i read in some other places abour this problem
