Hi all,
Thanks for the Heeelp in advance. Did the searches as requested
After appling 4405-sysctl-uac.patch during #USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources recieve the following errors
touch: setting times of '/var/tmp/portage/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7/.unpacked Function not implemented
!!! Error: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7 failed
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1539: Called dyn_unpack
ebuild.sh, line 712: Called die
!!! IO Failure -- Failed 'touch .unpacked' in /var/tmp/portage/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7
If it makes any difference Althon 700/751. 6g HD

Are you doing a fresh install? Did you mount all your partitions correctly (especially /proc and /dev)?
You could try to boot your livecd, mount all partitions except for proc and dev, then do:
| Code: | # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update; source /etc/profile
# emerge --sync
# emerge -auD world |

Why would you want to install a kernel failure?  |

yes it is a fresh install. Done step by step, word for word, completely default, from the handbook x86 except for make.conf because the mirrorselect command did not work as written. Found correction in a forum post change -i to -S4.
You were right on the money!! Thanks
Picked up at step 7b and continued.
A note for the novice linux users -> the installation instructions does not tell you when to use (pipe) "| more" after a command that outputs lots of text for selecting various options. This can be very helpful. |

| mirrorselect -help wrote: | | -i means interactive, which means you are able to choose the mirrors you like, while -s4 will just select 4 different mirrors for you automatically. |

Would have used interactive but I could not select a mirror or it would not let me select a mirror.
Thanks again |
