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'.
