[gentoo-dev] 1.0_rc4_pre2 results

[Collins Richey]

Just finished installing the avialbale iso offering - no problems with the
install or booting afterwards, but ...

What's the trick to get gentoo to talk to the internet?

Here's my setup and the results.

	I have a generic tulip card which is hop two on a local lan connected to
cable (att@home).
	modprobe tulip allows me to bring up eth0
	my ip address is 192.168.0.2
	ping 192.168.0.1 (the server with the cable connection) works ok
	ping www.xxx gets the ip address (so resolv.conf is ok and dns is working)
	ping xx.xx.xx.xx hangs (any address out there on the internet)

Any suggestions?

Hrm, that sourceforge mirror makes us problems. We removed the iso from
ibiblio a few weeks ago, because
security holes where detected in some packages, but sourceforge ignores
that changes for their mirror.

I suggest using the latest sys snapshot.

Make sure you set the GATEWAY to 192.168.0.1 in
/etc/rc.d/config/inet.eth0 and make sure your server connected
to the internet supports forwarding.

ok, got the gateway fixed, but there is no rsync or any form of ftp on the
gentoo system.  What's the best way to get to "the latest sys snapshot?"
