Hello,

I'm installing at work. The firewall requires a username and password.

I'm installing on a laptop w/o a cdrom. I used tomsrbrt disk.
Code:

www.toms.net/rb/

I then wgeted the stage1-ix86-1.2.tbz2 from a local machine(download earlier), and chrooted into the gentoo environment.

Beacuse I have read that 'emerge rsync' wouldn't work, I downloaded the portage snapshot from:
Code:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/snapshots/

to a local machine. I proceded to wget that to the /usr directory from the local machine.

I then used nano to edit: /etc/make.conf
I added the following variables.
Code:

HTTP_PROXY=challenger.xx.com:80
FTP_PROXY=challenger.xx.com:80
RSYNC_PROXY=challenger.xx.com:80 # I put this in anyway
http_proxy=challenger.xx.com:80
ftp_proxy=challenger.xx.com:80

and selected my processor type.

When I attempted to bootstrap it failed because I hadn't set up my wget environment variables.

So I created a a wgetrc file at:
Code:

/etc/wget/wgetrc


Inside this file I put the following:

Code:

http_proxy=http://challenger.xx.com:80/
ftp_proxy=http://challenger.xx.com:80/
no_proxy=.xx.com
proxy-user=kopenklj
proxy-passwd=xxxx


I tested the getting with a know file:

Code:

wget http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/sysvinit-2.83.tar.gz
 


It worked, and the bootstraping was also able to get files from the web.

Regards,

ljkopen

P.S. - the
Code:

mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc

didn't work with tom's rbrt disk. I don't know if this will hamper the stage 2 build or not.
