Hey Everyone-

I think that I missed something, but I'm doing a fresh install and I'm
having a heck of a time getting ebuilds to download.  Either servers 
are
timing out, or 404's, or host not found etc.
...
Here is my current ebuild example :

        cdimage root # emerge system
        Calculating system dependencies ...done!
emerge (1 of 42) sys-libs/slang-1.4.9 to /
Downloading
        ftp://ftp.jedsoft.org/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2

        ftp://ftp.jedsoft.org/pub/davis/slang/v1.4/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2
                   => `/usr/portage/distfiles/slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2'
        Resolving ftp.jedsoft.org... failed: Host not found.
        !!! Couldn't download slang-1.4.9.tar.bz2. Aborting.
I understand that its impossible to keep everything 100% synced up, and
I'm absolutely not complaining about anything.  But I'm wondering if
there isn't something or somewhere I should be looking at on my system
to make sure I'm looking at all the latest repositories?
I've tried 'emerge sync' a few times to see if I get a more recent
portage snap-shot; same story.
It looks to me like it's not *resolving* that hostname. In which case, 
I'm surprised that `emerge sync` works.
What happens when you try to `ping ftp.jedsoft.org`, `ping yahoo.com` 
&c..?
