Took me 4 days to install Gentoo from stage 1 and the first two times it failed at emerge --sync. It actually failed at the same point the third time but I managed to correct it. When I ran emerge --sync my make.conf completely filled up with garbage, over 57,000 lines of what looked like an executable file opened and viewed in a text editor. On the third attempt I made a copy of make.conf and after running emerge --sync I copied it to the original. I may not have ended up with an up to date portage list but it got me going again and I believe that stage is optional anyway. Either way I have a nearly fully working stage 1 install. -- Tony.
