I saw the machine that Jason was trying his first install on. I'm not surprised it took a long while.... <grins>
I think we "Gentoo-ers" need to be a little careful when dealing with people who are having problems installing. I don't say this because of any comments made, but rather one that hasn't been yet... It might be me, but I am convinced that you do not really succeed with Gentoo until your third or fourth install of it. If you already have a "low-level" background to understand all the configs, then this may not be true, but for the rest of us it'll take that many tries until you start to fully understand the system and learn what NOT to do. Where possible, I prefer to do a stage 1 install, but in a pinch I'll do a stage 3, then emerge world after I have the core requirements for the server in place. Even then, a stage 3 install still takes me roughly a day to do (on PII-400's, without distcc, and without using the LiveCD kernel). My thoughts...
