Hi Gentoo Developers !

First of all : You did a great job !!!
I installed my system with a bootable 1.0_rc6 image ....and all worked
perfectly ;)

The only problem I encountered so far was:

* How to change to the mirror server !?!? (The one in france ...as this
would be much faster for europe )

* But the most important thing: since the last 3 days no emerge did work
!!!!???
  (I had an active working connection , but got the message like:
www.ibiblio.org:80...blablabla  : no route to host...
  I could ping the machine I could read the websites ...no problem ....
  => Did you change some directory structues ????

Please help me !

THX in advance ;)

Yours,

Michael Karas

Add 
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://cfx5.tgv.net/mirror/gentoo/"
in /etc/make.conf

no route to host indicates some problems on the way between you and
ibiblio. If the problem don't go away the best way would be to contact
your ISP and tell them about the problem.

Hi there,

After I installed LFS awhile back, I wanted to try out gentoo, and so I did

The basic install worked great!

After that, I tried emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker because I wanted Xwindows and
WindoMaker and then it started

Lockups while d/l X420src-1.tgz. I wasn't able to login through another
console nor ^C the operation so I had to do a cold reboot

Tried again, part -2 and -3 d/l oke but now de install failed the checksum
of the -1 file. So I removed it and did emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker again.
Lockup while d/l. Now I was getting annoyed so I did ftp ftp.xfree86.org and d/l
the source myself and put it in /usr/src/port*/dist*/ 

Again I did emerge x11-wm/WindowMaker and now it passed the checksums. i was
happy until...

Again that -1 file! Now it lockup my system while it was u npacking the
file!

So I have 2 questions for you: 1) how do I succesfully install X11 and
WindMaker on my gentoo system and 2) can you program emerge in such a way that it
doens't lock up the entire system when there is a problem during the install?
I'm having M$ flashbacks here!

Anyway, this email isn't meant as a flame, the Gentoo project looks great
but at the moment I have just these two annoying problems :)

I hope you can help me out here

Sincerely,
Ruud

I would check your hardware/configuration. I've successfully merged X11
several times over the last few weeks on different machines without a
hitch and I'm new to Gentoo as well.

I see two possibilities for the problem here:
- your harddisk is full and it locks on that (it shouldn't crash on it
  though)
- Some other piece of hardware is broken (processor or memory)

This behaviour should never turn up in a normal functioning system. If I
needed  to guess, your processor is overheating, and it is triggered by
the decompression.

Good luck with it,
Paul
