[gentoo-dev] Gentoo install probs

[Salze]

Hi!

I'm currently installing Gentoo because I heard so many positive reports
about it. As far as the installation guide is concerned I can confirm them up to
now, although I encountered two problems (I'm using the live cd without UT):

1)
http_proxy and ftp_proxy have to be set to "http://<ip>:<port>" instead of
just "<ip>:<port>". The proxy is a SuSE 7.3 running squid, but I don't think
it even gets so far without the "http://", but I haven't checked. But
RSYNC_PROXY only works without the "http://". I'm somewhat surprised that I'm
supposed to be the only one having to add "http://" for http_proxy and ftp_proxy.
Maybe it's because I used ips instead of hostnames?

2)
procps doesn't install. "rm -f /var/catman/cat1/ps.1.gz
/var/man/cat1/ps.1.gz" (retyped from memory) fails. I couldn't find the script and creating those
directories and files didn't help either. I could help myself by pretending
to have it installed already (emerge --pretend or so). "emerge \<"procps"
(don't remember the full package name) said it didn't find anything...I though
maybe previous versions didn't have that problem.

Feedback/help on 2) would be appreciated. Otherwise I just wanted to say
thanx for the good work and maybe help improve the install guide/procedure a
little bit.

bye
