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

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

[Maxim Wexler]

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.
wget: unable to resolve host address `gentoo.osuosl.org'
!!! Couldn't download 'genpatches-2.6.29-7.extras.tar.bz2'. Aborting.
 * Fetch failed for 'sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5', Log file:
 *  '/var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5/temp/build.log'

>>> Failed to emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5, Log file:

Did you copy the resolv.conf from the liveCD /etc/ to the chroot ?
You're not in gmail from the chrooted env, are you ?

How long does this step take?

If it fails immediately (unlikely) then you have no connectivity to your name 
servers.
If it takes 30 seconds, then you have broken name servers.

Check what's in /etc/resolv.conf, use dig to see what comes back and change 
your name servers as necessary.

Failing that, change your mirror or just download that file manually from 
gentoo.org.
