	So there I am, at code listing 18, typing in cd /usr/portage and
then scripts/bootstrap.sh and the results are here:

!!! Invalid token (not "=") used
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/emerge", line 308, in ?
    if not portage.settings.has_key?("MAINTAINER")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages/portage.py", line 496, in has_key
    if x.has_key(mykey)
AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'has_key'

I get the same "'None' object has no attribute 'has_key'" error about 9 or
10 times (it's hard to tell on my crappy monitor). Is this a known issue?
Can it be fixed? I did everything as specified on the sheet
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html) to the letter and nothing else
errored out. Do you guys know what's going wrong?

(1024x768 max res.)

I would send you a dmesg, but the shell says 'bash: dmesg: command not
found'. Oh well.

Hi,

By an almost amazing coincidence I also got that error (on almost identical
hardware).

After a bit of investigation as far as I could tell I'd managed to screw up
the /etc/make.conf file.

put the original back in, and off it went!

Might be a good place to start looking!

regards

Andy

This seems to be a common error (i had it also), because i had uncommented
some lines in /etc/make.conf  under #USE descriptions.

Here is the proplem.  You messed up the make.conf.  I got the exact error
when I firsted installed it,  Basically you uncommented the wrong stuff.
