I have no network access. I copied the dl-stage.sh from the webpage and run it. I got bad results -- there were '(' ')' or URLs like: mirror://kernel/test/binutils... almost every file was duplicated (one from ibiblio and one from origin source like ftp.gnu.org). So I thought I forgot to run mirrorselect, but... When I run mirrorselect -i -o >>/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf (or -s4 -a ) according to install.html on the Install CD I get error saying netselect expected 7 arguments and got 4 (or something like this) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Following exactly the install instruction. I have downloaded Gentoo 1.4 Live CD, extracted stage1-20030910.tar.gz and downloaded portage-20031127.tar.gz
I don't quite understand your problem. you have no network access? in that case mirrorselect is kind of pointless. In any event this bug is old and there is a new version on the way.
