[gentoo-user] can't emerge gentoo-sources from sysrescd-1.2.0

[Maxim Wexler <maxim.wexler@gmail.com>]

Hi group,

I thought that this was the fault of my dialup connection at home but
now I find it's doing it at the wifi spot in the library.

I'm following the quick-install guide and got to 'code listing 2-19'.
Portage goes through the mirror addresses but can't resolve any; as if
there were no connection. But here I am in gmail ;(

Here's the tail end of #emerge gentoo-sources
...
Resolving gentoo.osuosl.org... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
