I'm sorry, this is my first bug report. All the text I thought I entered did not appear. Attached are the 2 files as requested in the error report. Basically, the GLI was unsuccessful when I checked it after setting it up overnight.

This isn't really an installer program. It was portage that failed. However, it looks like it failed due to an I/O error, which is typically caused by a failing drive. You may want to run a badblocks scan on your drive before doing anything else. If you still have the LiveCD booted, check the output of `dmesg` for anything pointing to the problem.
Badblock reported nothing after full check (hours) GLI install fails at different points when tried a couple more times. Manual install has not failed yet (other than a mysql incl needed for qt - seems this failed for others, workaround install mysql first if qt mysql use flag in use) - I now believe it was some sort of connectivity problem but one that occurs based on GLI settings detected? Feel free to reclose this - just opened it so you would read the addendum. Will try the GLI again in future release, have another pc to do but will stick to manual ;)
