[gentoo-dev] gentoo net install & proxy

[Michael De Nil]

Heyz


my provider put me behind a http-proxy, so I will have to go threw that,
but I am having some trouble: first is in the manual explained that it
should be changed in /etc/make.conf, but this doesn't do anything.

on the faq I found that I could also edit the config-file of wget in
/etc/wget/

now the problem with that is that it's replaced during the 'emerge
system', so that during the install, the system forgets the proxy again.

I changed it then again in another console, but when trying again, it was
still failing, so I interupted the process & restarted it. when executing
'emerge system' again, it starts again from the beginning, so I don't see
how I can solve this problem.

The setup was just going to download debianutils, so I think the previous
packet replaced my wget-config file -> is there a way that I can skip it ?



tnx
	michael

had the same problem.

The easiest thing is to change /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap and just
add the command (export http-proxy...).  I even managed to go thru an
ftp-proxy with lftpget.

eg:
=== [file /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap] ===
..........

export whatever you want

echo "Using $myBASELAYOUT"
echo "Using $myPORTAGE"
echo "Using $myBINUTILS"
echo "Using $myGCC"
..........
