[Solved] tethering after chrooting into build environment

[TwiNight]

Hi, I am trying to install gentoo on my P4 decktop pc. For coneecting to internet from the live CD, I am using tethering facility of my android phone as follows:

Code: Select all

ifconfig usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0

Everything was fine until I chrooted into the build envionment and tried

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

At which time I got error - something like getaddrinfo failed and like that. So I tried pinging, that's when I discovered that the internet was not working. From the same chroot environment, I tried

Code: Select all

ifconfig usb0

which successfully showed the setting for that interface, including IP address and rest of the information.

Since I do not have dhcpcd installed yet on the build environment, how can I use the tethered connection?

(Please pardon for mistakes, if any as I am using 'links' from the live CD)

This is a fairly common problem - you forgot to copy /etc/resolv.conf to the chroot environment.

See the "Copy DNS Info" section of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/h ... t=1&chap=6

Ugh. Feel kinda silly not to have read that section . Wonder how I forgot. Anyway that worked, as expected.
