Hey Piotr,

i used "lsmod" after booting from "amd4-minimal-install-CD" and to my
surprise neither "ipv6" nor "net-pf-10" were there :-{ . i think there
was some problem with my ISP (well, my ISP never accepts that). then i
did the following:

1.) changed to "/mnt/gentoo/" a smy current directory

2.) successfully downloaded the "Stage3 tarball" for amd64, checked
its MD5SUM - OK, unzipped it with command:

        "tar xvjf -stage3-tarball-here-"

no problems.

3.) next i downloaded "Portage-latest" from "snapshots" directory at
one of the mirrors. MD5SUM was OK, when i hit the following command:

         "tar -xvjf -latest-portage here-  -C  /usr"

as instructed in the "Gentoo Handbook" then after 20 minutes of
unzipping operation i got 1000s of messages like:

       "CAN NOT OPEN: no such file or directory"

end message was:   "tar exit delayed from previous errors"

what went wrong now? i am trying to install gentoo since 4:00 PM, it's
11 PM now :-(
