i am working in a corporation network, very fast and stable. i think it is because the portage in the official livecd is too old that it cannot work with new portage snapshot.
here is my trick to resolve this problem: after untar the portage-latest to the new system, and chroot, i do emerge -u portage to update the portage separately, then i do emerge-webrsync, then i got everything works ;) On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 8:58 PM, Mick<michaelkintz...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2009/8/25 Xi Shen <davidshe...@googlemail.com>: >> Hi, >> >> I am doing a fresh new gentoo x64 install.
