As an aside, can someone verify that cvs.gentoo.org is indeed: 216.223.235.2 Also, Since I have been unable to get the package information downloaded, I am using the burned CD to install apps. However, whenever I emerge them, it automatically assumes that the individual packages are located in their specific directories (say I try to install gnome-1.4 it will error because it cannot find: gnome-base/gnome-applets. All the packages on the CD are in one dir "All". Is that error refering that it cannot find the package, or that it cannot find the app?

OK, gotcha. The next thing to verify is that you use the "-o notail" option to mount your ReiserFS boot partition. If you didn't, then GRUB won't be able to read those files and will produce the errors you described. Quick fix: mount your boot partition with notail, copy the files to another partition, zap the original files, and then copy them back. When they are recreated, their tails won't be packed. Tail packing is a Reiserfs thing that messes up most boot loaders.
