If you are using the default mirrors, change them. I ran into timeout errors all the time with the default mirrors. I think I used this one: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ I think that will work better if you are running into the same timeout problem I used to have. You may want to try "mirrorselect -i -r". Please, make a backup of make.conf before you run that. Some have ran into problems with it messing up the file. Just pick the mirror that is closest and works. Try different ones if you need to. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
