Go to the mountpoint where you mounted your filesystem (most likely /mnt/gentoo):
Code Listing 12: Going to the Gentoo mountpoint
# cd /mnt/gentoo
Fire up links2 (or lynx) and go to our Gentoo mirror list. Pick a mirror close to you and open the snapshots/ directory. There, download the latest Portage snapshot by selecting it and pressing D.
Code Listing 13: Browsing the Gentoo mirrorlist
# links2 http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml
Now exit your browser by pressing Q. You will now have a Portage snapshot stored in /mnt/gentoo. In the next step, we extract the Portage snapshot onto your filesystem. Make sure that you use the exact command; the last option is a capital C, not c.
Code Listing 14: Extracting the Portage snapshot
(Substitute <date> with the datestamp of the downloaded snapshot)
# tar -xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-<date>.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr

i'll ask for more help after because no doubt i'll be stuck on the next part

What kind of Internet do you have (i.e cable, dsl?
did you complete the install? or are you in the middle of it)?
I dont think an ISP would have commercial proxy. Yet I could be wrong? |
