Ok, I just installed Gentoo with a help of a friend, but he's in another city. I don't have a GUI I tried installing Gnome 3, but received this after changing the USE according to how it instructed(well what I could see of it):
| Code: | Resolving gnu.mirror.iweb.com... failed: Name or service not known.

My friend then told me that this is similar to the error 404. I checked my network and received Where exactly do I go from here. Thank you for all those that help.
This is not from the Live CD. this is from the computer itself |

Thank you. That helped with the situation. It fixed the connection issue. Now I have another issue. Now though, I have an issue with my original problem concerning emerge gnome.

it appears that /etc/resolv.conf has been written over once again.
repeat | Code: | | nano /etc/resolv.conf |
edit to | Quote: | | nameserver 8.8.8.8 |
if it has changed then | Code: | | ping -c 2 google.com |
if that works it tends to confirm that something is overwriting /etc/resolv.conf. the usual cause of that behavior is having a line like | Quote: | | dns_domain_lo="homenetwork" |
in /etc/conf.d/net. If you have a line like that delete it. If you feel that /etc/resolv.conf is changing without you changing it but there is no line similar to dns_domain_lo= post the content of /etc/conf.d/net for analysis.

Just to add DONAHUE's observations/comments.
1) /etc/resolv.conf.head will make sure that the name server is persistent.
2) make sure wget is not using ipv6. You can check this with emerge -pv wget If it is using ipv6, rebuild with that flag disabled. You can force wget to use ipv4 to fetch its source code or use a browser like Firefox or chromium to download the file and copy it to the location that emerge was trying to save it.

For some users, IPv6 connectivity works fine. Also, I would expect it to fail differently if the problem was that he was using IPv6 in a network where it was not supported. |

I am sure it works for some internet configurations, or the option would not exist. I experienced an error like this a while back and as I recall it produced an error just like the OP's.

OK, I am so sorry, I know I was a lot closer, but due to a huge mistake I made I accidentally deleted everything and had to start from scratch. So now I started again. I am back to my original error, but this time is returning me with | Code: | | connect: Network is unreachable |
help please? |

For convenience, I suggest boot a system rescue cd to a GUI and network connection and run (identify your equipment and drivers) and post the result here. Then enter the chroot, nominally: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
then | Code: | emerge wgetpaste pciutils dhcpcd linux-firmware
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config
ifconfig -a | wgetpaste
ifconfig | wgetpaste
ls -a /etc/init.d/net* | wgetpaste
cat /etc/conf.d/net | wgetpaste
|
post the url's returned here. Needed drivers or firmware or applications or configuration seems to have been lost during the rebuild.

| One problem, the only comp that has a CD drive is the one I'm working on, and I don't have a flash drive. I would go out and get one, but right now, I am kind of with a broken ankle. any other suggestions? |

| ummm... perhaps it's not properly understood, but the one I'm trying to install Gentoo on is the only computer that has a CD drive. the netbook can take a flash drive, but I don't have a flash drive. I can't buy one because I am in a cast |

sorry, missed your statement that you had no usb flash drive on hand when I wrote plan a. However, plan b should work if I understand correctly that you have a cd drive on the target computer, and presuming that you do have some brand of linux livecd;
just boot any livecd of same bitness as your intended install. (If not a gentoo livecd, do what it requires to be root and run)
Then enter the chroot, nominally: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
then
| Code: |
emerge wgetpaste pciutils dhcpcd linux-firmware
lspci -k | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config
ifconfig -a | wgetpaste
ifconfig | wgetpaste
ls -a /etc/init.d/net* | wgetpaste
cat /etc/conf.d/net | wgetpaste |

Thanks for your dedication on this. It really is appreciated. I am running an error on this line: I don't think that it's much of a good sign if I already get | Code: | | cp: cannot stat '/etc/resolv.conf' : No such file or directory |
when I run | Code: | | cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |

should give a working solution (bypassing the block)
BTW, what cd are you using?

ok
that does make no /etc/resolv.conf a strange event
you did establish a network connection with the cd? (net-setup eth0)
