Are you sure you're giving portage long enough?
linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2 take a LONG time to unpack and considering you're
using a laptop, it's probably has 4400 RPM drives in it which will take
even longer.
If you want to know if that is what it is doing, then while it's sitting
there, open another terminal and repeatidly type df, see if your filesystem
usage is going up.

well, 15 minutes seemed like a long time just to unpack
a source. no hard drive sounds. 400MHz of powerpc chip
+ 5000 or so RPM HD shouldn't be THAT slow?
i'm still at the bootstrap stage, so df gives me:
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory
when i interrupted the process, and tried
to re-run bootstrap.sh, it tries to emerge sys-apps/portage-1.8.12 to /
at which point it hangs!
not sure what to do about this. seems like a portage problem?
or some strange setting somewhere?

This isn't right... you should be emerging
linux-headers-2.4.19.ebuild... I'll check cvs and see if I have it in
there right when I get back from work.

Something is apparently wrong. First of all bootstrap (or a script started by
bootstrap) shouldn't merge that x86 kernel but a ppc kernel (2.4.19). But
apparently the problem is not happening using the kernel but unpacking it?!?,
could you test if you're able to download the kernel yourself and unpack it
using the system you've got now? Maybe the kernel you downloaded is not
correclty downloaded...
I've looked into the problem and fixed some things in portage. An x86 kernel
shouldn't definately be merged again using the new portage. I've temporarily
masked all kernels that aren't ppc patched. I think the best thing you could
do is start installing gentooppc again and look if your problems are still
there.
I've also created two gentoo-ppc mailinglists for those interested in
gentoo-ppc:
gentooppc-dev@sunsite.dk
gentooppc-announce@sunsite.dk
to subscribe email: gentooppc-dev-subscribe@sunsite.dk and/or
gentooppc-announce@sunsite.dk
Instructions can be obtained from gentooppc-dev-help@sunsite.dk or
gentooppc-announce-help@sunsite.dk
We're working on rsync access to gentooppc.sunsite.dk. (To be exact: I'm just
waiting for sunsite.dk support to install a simple (5 line) script into their
crontab. I don't know what exactly they are doing that takes so long... must
be they are figuring out how to use cron.)
Updated build/iso (with cvs merged in and updated locations) are available
for download from http://gentooppc.sunsite.dk

excellent idea.

the second address should read
gentooppc-announce-subscribe@sunsite.dk
QUESTION: where would the archives be located ? (via http)

glad you could put cvs in, thanks... will try this in a bit.

good question indeed, those are ezml lists... not mailman but will check it
out.

I'm currently working on a complete portage update
(KDE3 etc ...)
