Okay, this one is a bit of a guess, but, are you also mirroring the
distfiles on 192.168.1.50? The bootstrap.sh script will only download
the distfiles and, if it can't find them on the local server, it will
try to download them.

One option would be to copy the files necessary for the bottstrap
process to the new computer's portage/distfiles directory and then run
the script. It shouldn't go looking to the internet then.

Were you able to get it to do the initial sync from the local system?

[gentoo-user] emerge and bootscript.sh

[Harlan]

Thanks to Ian and Thorsten, I was able to get an existing client computer to 
rsync from an internal server.  This works great!!!

Now, to get this working with a new system rebuild.  I am installing gentoo 
linux using livecd-basic-1.4_rc1-r2.iso and connecting to my internal server.  
The problem is that the bootscript.sh tries to connect to my server, but is 
not successful.  bootscript.sh then tries to connect to quite a number of 
systems on the internet without success; the new install computer does not 
have access to the internet.

After getting the hard drive setup, and extracting the stage1 tar file, I 
added some lines to the /etc/make.conf.  The lines where for these variables:  
FETCHCOMMAND, SYNC, GENTOO_MIRRORS.

FETCHCOMMAND='rsync -vcrtz --partial --progress --timeout=600 
rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages/${FILE} ${DISTDIR}'
SYNC=rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-portage
GENTOO_MIRRORS=rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages


Ok, so what am I misssing?  What did I do wrong?

Thanks again for your help.

Harlan...
