Did you "emerge sync" or "emerge -fUD world"? > Now, to get this working with a new system rebuild.

There is no "bootscript.sh". Do you mean "bootstrap.sh"?

Have a look at the script. It replaces make.conf and restores it afterwards. But the SYNC/GENTOO_MIRRORS should be honored and those variables are not cumulative so this shouldn't happen. > 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? Please tell us more. Can you ping the rsync host? "bootstrap.sh" calls emerge which in turn calls rsync or $FETCHCOMMAND. Try "emerge -pUD world" and have a look at /var/log/emerge.log. Try "\rsync -vvv rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-portage" and "\rsync -vvv rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages" which increases verbosity. Have a look at /var/log/everything/current at the rsync host and be sure that metalog doesn't cache (it's described in the install.xml) Thorsten -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
