Gentoo live cd x86 1.4 rc4 kernel has IPv6 support and ping6, traroute6 and even ip6tables programs. IPv6 cannot be used to install a new Gentoo system because necessary applications (ftp, lynx, wget and rsync) do not support IPv6. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Live CD rc4 2. Configure network with IPv6 and set DNS servers 3. ping6 kitara.atm.tut.fi (works) 4. try to ftp, lynx or wget something from kitara.atm.tut.fi or emerge sync Actual Results: "Network unreachable", they all try IPv4, which doesn't work. Only IPv6 would work for me. Expected Results: To be able to normally retrieve tha stage package and continue with installation after IPv6 and DNS have been configured. >>> Note: /etc/make.profile/make.defaults isn't available. an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this. !!! No gcc found. You probably need to 'source /etc/profile' to update !!! the environment of this terminal and possibly other terminals also.

Sorry, the right address is trumpetti.atm.tut.fi. And it works. I'm so ashamed of myself, terribly sorry. :-(
Riiight... rsync from 1.4rc4 stage1 works, but wget doesn't. I had to recompile wget on my working Gentoo box to support IPv6: USE="-nls -ssl" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" emerge wget and then copy it over to unpacked stage1. From there on the install procedures seem to work quite well.
I had the same issue with the livecd for hppa. I simply correct it by removing --no-replace from the emerge command in the livecd-ng script. This will rebuild the pkg already presents in the stage 3 with the new USE var defined in the profile.
since we don't use those scripts anymore, and it seems that it is working, closing
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
