Re: [gentoo-user] Mirrorselect gone batty?
I did a query on mirrorselect and found a discussion on issues with net select. There wasn't anything on the issue of messing up the make.conf file. On Saturday 15 March 2003 03:49 pm, Brett I.

It appears the author is aware of it then. I see no mention in the bug report of my problem with mirroeselect. The mirrorselect -a -s# option fails with the error: MRK root # mirrorselect -a -s3 Fetching server list from web Running netselect on serverlist, this may take a moment no mirrors selected, exiting Has anyone else seen this?

Has anyone else had problems with it? I had the same problem - the developer who does Mirrorselect is aware of the issue. Reportedly it is only a problem when run from the LiveCD. To workaround, delete those ASCII codes from the end of your make.conf add the Mirrors in manually. You should find something like the below suitable: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ grep MIRROR /etc/make.conf # Portage uses GENTOO_MIRRORS to specify mirrors to use for source retrieval. #GENTOO_MIRRORS=your_mirror_here http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo; GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/gentoo/ http://gentoo.linux.no/ http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/pub/Linux/distrib/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo; [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ I tend to keep the first line handy for uncommenting, in case the European mirrors are slow in propagating updates.
