I had exactly the same problem and was not able to download the last stage after booting with the livecd. The solution I found (because I did not know the /etc/make.conf solution) was to give the proxy data like this : links2 -http-proxy "http://blah.com:3128"; you_url and when links2 launch, it open a dialog box (in text mode ;-)) to ask you for the username and password. That's the only way I found to download the stages, and now, I LOVE Gentoo ;-) Best regards Etienne -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
