I had tried emerge regen before, with no result. emerge-webrsync didn't do much good either. Thanks for the help, anyways.
Maybe there's something else I could try?

First time for me, trying to get Portage to behave as would be more comfortable for me. Sorry if the answer is really obvious, and I just don't get it.

Anyways, I don't have enough space left to install UT2004 (what a behemoth) on my Gentoo partition, and I was wondering whether I could somehow get ...

get a room.

if you dedicate the pc to that, 5-6 hours.

you still havent made clear what connection you have, dsl or cable.

1. DSL :
try changing your /etc/conf.d/net , to have this line:

# iface_eth1="up"

after that, do
# emerge rp-pppoe

when that's done, just run adsl-setup.

2. Cable

# iface_eth="dhcp" should have done the trick. :?

I take ...

Im guessing right now you are still in your live cd environment, and trying to get networking working from there.

you got several possible choices.

1. ADSL : use rp-pppoe. just work with these two commands:
# adsl-setup
# adsl-start

2. Net-Setup, if you are trying to access a DHCP server, or ...

erm, I think he's got it right.
if (hd0,1) points to his /boot partition, then (hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz translates to /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz , and the kernel translates to /boot/linux-2.6.7-gentoo-r8.
or maybe Im wrong as well. =\
dunno.

and, just shooting in the dark here, try doing,
"emerge gnome"

if you know your ip, then set the others manually.
if , for example, its a LAN, and your ip is (or you want it to be), 192.168.1.1, then you would enter this as root:

# ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

that should take care of it.

if, on the other hand ...

I just installed Gentoo for the first time about a week ago. Except for a couple of looks into the Knoppix CD, Id never stepped out of the Microsoft domain.
And it was completely do-able, and I enjoyed every bit of it.
The guide is extremely detailed and well writen. and for those few problems ...

SEXAY!

The XP CD is going to do just fine. use that. open the Recovery console, and type "fdisk /mbr". then reboot, and it should boot straight into XP.
then, if you have Knoppix, you can use that.
for your configuration, just enter,

# chroot /mnt/hda4 /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile

might want to try cleaning up the MBR, using "fdisk /mbr", and then boot again using the LiveCD, and try reinstalling grub in the mbr. maybe something got corrupted along the way. if that fails again, theres always LILO, which would allow you without losing your XP partition, at least.

This is because you have XP installed on a NTFS partition. I did the same thing on my first linux install with RedHat. You either need to use ntldr to boot windows and linux, or convert your NTFS partition to a FAT32 one. Here is a how-to on the first method: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+NT-Loader ...

# service pure-ftpd start
bash: service: command not found

did I screw up somewhere?

allright, thanks. going to change my iptables firewall to allow that. thanks again.

Thats my /etc/hosts.
I had the same problem as you till a few days ago.that fixed it.

thats the only line you need to change, none of that dhcp stuff. the only reason Gnome is ...

1st, change the title of this thread. made me come in here just to flame you. (.org, not .com)

2nd, theres something wrong with your isp. dont make a big jiffy out of it, just use proxies like www.guardster.com, which are free.

Im having the same error during boot, and Im quite sure I installed the reiserfsprogs. same with /etc/fstab, the casing is correct.
