Whenever I start the bootstrap process, it gets to the point where it has to download protecter and then quits...can anyone help me with this?

Any details on what happens when it quits? Logs, error messages, that sort of thing is a good place to start. I'm not very familiar with your problem (never even noticed the word "protector" when I was bootstraping), and while there may be others who are, more details are needed.

This post might help, but I had trouble making heads from tails out of it.

Yes, there is a bad link in the ebuild file.

* CHECK THESE TWO FILES TO SEE IF THEY ARE STILL BROKEN
*
* FILE 1:
cdimage / # ls -a /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc
* if it contains: gcc-3.2.3-r1.ebuild
* do fix number one
*
* FILE 2:
cdimage / # ls -a /usr/portage/sys-devel/patch
* if it contains: patch-2.5.9.ebuild
* do fix number two
*
* DO THESE FIXES BEFORE YOU bootstrap.sh TO AVOID THESE TWO INSTALLATION BLOCKING PROBLEMS
*
* FIX NUMBER ONE:
* >>> to fix the "protector" problem: <<<
cdimage / # nano /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.2.3-r1.ebuild
* Search for "trl.ibm", find the line SRC_URI section that points to http://trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp/ . . . . .
* and replace this dead link with the following link:
* http://gentoo.nuclearzone.net/distfiles/protector-${PP_VER2}.tar.gz
*
* FIX NUMBER TWO:
* >>> to fix the "patch-2.5.9.tar.gz" problem: <<<
cdimage / # nano /usr/portage/sys-devel/patch/patch-2.5.9.ebuild
* Near the top of the file, change the address in the SRC_URI= to read
* SRC_URI="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/${P}.tar.gz"
*

Hope that helps
