I'll take a quick look at things. Curious, do you have dialog installed? yes, dialog gets automatically installed as part of the mirrorselect dependencies. I just tried installing gentoo on a compaq evo desktop (P4-1.7 - another computer at work) and I have the same mirrorselect problem I checked /var/log/emerge.log and it says everything completed and installed successfully with no errors. This is really wierd. I tried it on a different compaq evo desktop (P4-2.4) yesterday and it worked fine. What could be causing this? Does this program connect to a server to get this list of mirrors? Could it be that this server is down or timing out? (I'm connecting from Australia) Sorry, I lost this bug from my list for some reason :/ This has been mostly taken care of. THe issue was a dialog/livecd one, screen size and stdout+stderr being tied together somehow. It doesn't connect to anything, I think the hang was waiting for output to stdout that never happens. THis is known to be a problem from the livecd enviroment and can't really be fixed in mirrorselect aside from not using it until you are booted from a real system :( |
