It does look like you ran out of disk (or RAM, consider the ramdisk) space. I noticed in your sequence you mentioned cding to /mnt/gentoo, but didn't mention mounting anything, and I'm wondering just where you were trying to untar everything to -- maybe the ramdisk in memory? df/diskfree should give the mounted information as well as free, too, of course, but as with the others, I'm guessing you tried extracting the archive to either memory or the wrong partition. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
