Thanks, that got me a little bit farther :)  Now I'm having trouble
building the base system.  It gets stuck compiling perl (in the `make
test' part, I think).  Here's the output I see:

...
lib/io_linenum.......ok
lib/io_multihomed....ok
lib/io_pipe..........ok
lib/io_poll..........ok
lib/io_sel...........ok
lib/io_sock..........

The cursor is just sitting at the end of that last line, and it doesn't
seem to be doing anything.  It never times out either.  I know my
network connection is ok, because I was able to rsync before.
Any ideas?  Or, is there some way I can tell emerge to skip the `make test'
step for perl?

Try setting up the lo interface and making sure that "localhost" has an
entry in /etc/hosts.  That should solve it, I think.  Let me know if it
does (or doesn't) so I can update the install docs.

Somewhat OT...

Shouldn't localhost be in the /etc/hosts file in the first place?  This
then begs the question, under what circumstances would you not use the
localhost entry in /etc/hosts?

I was going to mention this, but it got lost in my list of
things-to-mention.  Setting up the lo interface and adding localhost to
/etc/hosts did the trick for me.  I think this should be added as
a standard step in the install docs.

I have the entry
127.0.0.1           localhost        localhost.localdomain

in my /etc/hosts files, and a 'ping localhost' fails.  I am pretty sure 
that syntax is correct.  Anyone see the problem.

Here is my /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.2     g2r61.home.com

Do you have the lo interface up?  I think all you need to do is

    ifconfig lo up

maybe your .localdomain is your problem ... do you have a nameserver
for localdomain ?!? and it is not common to define localhost.localdomain.

This shouldn't matter in this case since localhost.localdomain is only
being defined as an alias for localhost.

All the entries should just be aliases to the IP. For example, mine is:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localmachine  localhost

Order shouldn't matter, as in one being aliased to the other. I personally
didn't run into this problem with perl. But I had /etc/hosts modified and
the lo interface up before that.

Note, it is *incorrect* to list localhost before localhost.localdomain. The
FQDN needs to be first, followed by any aliases you want to use.

Ie., this is wrong:
127.0.0.1           localhost        localhost.localdomain

It must be done thusly:
127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain        localhost

Another common mistake is to list your real hostname in the 127.0.0.1
record. Ie, if your hostname is 'pluto', then dont do this!:
127.0.0.1           .....        pluto

Theres nothing wrong with defining localhost.localdomain though. In fact
its done a lot, mostly out of tradition, to serve as a placeholder. But the
order issue is important.

Actually, I think you may be wrong in this case.  You are correct about
putting FQDN first, but in this case, "localhost" may be the
fully-qualified domain, and "localhost.localdomain" may be the alias,
since there is no actualy domain called "localdomain".

If you list "localhost" first, then programs that resolve IP->name using
/etc/hosts via the gethostby*() functions will resolve
127.0.0.1->localhost, which in my experience is desirable over
127.0.0.1->localhost.localdomain.

I stand corrected from my previous post... :) Personally, I haven't really
found any issues with using localhost after localhost.localdomain. That's
just the way I've always done it.
