[gentoo-user] 5.b. Default: Using a Stage from the Internet

Hi,

Having a go at installing Gentoo don't really know what I'm doing.  Seems to
be an error with the file I've downloaded.  Should I try download again?

livecd gentoo # md5sum -c stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2.DIGESTS
./stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2: OK
md5sum: ./stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2.CONTENTS: No such file or directory
./stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2.CONTENTS: FAILED open or read
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 2 listed files could not be read

Portage seemed to be fine:
livecd gentoo # md5sum -c portage-latest.tar.bz2.md5sum
portage-latest.tar.bz2: OK

Thanks,

Brenton.

There is also a file stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2.CONTENTS on the webserver
you got the stuff from. Either download it too and you will have no
error anymore, or just ignore it, because the stage archive is actually
okay.

You just have to download stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2.CONTENTS, which is at
the same location than the stage and the DIGESTS you download...
So, don't worry, your stage seems to be OK !

HTH.

Personally, I would suggest using a newer stage3 than 2008.1; there are new 
stage3 tarballs generated every week in [1].  You probably want the
stage3-i686-*.tar.bz2 file. (The *-i486-* files are for systems older than 
or otherwise not compatible with the Pentium Pro, IIRC).
