Gentoo Linux was successfully installed from CD(downloaded and burned x86-universal-2004.3-r1.iso) Gentoo booted and i logged in as root. next i wanted to run x-windows so as instructed on your documentation pages regarding installation (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml) of the x-window server i proceeded. i typed 'emerge xorg-x11' and the process started. During the 'emerge xorg-x11' many errors showed up. examples... 1. 'connecting to .....blahblah...... failed: no route to host' sometimes message came up 'Retrying' , other times 'Giving up' sometimes it showed 'connected' but then showed '403 Forbidden' or at times '404 Not found' finally it aborted with the last line saying: !!! Couldn't download fontconfig-2.2.3.tar.gz. Aborting after this i just checked one thing, which is the internet connection. i typed 'ping www.yahoo.com' and after a couple of ping operations: i pressed ctrl-c to find 0% packet loss(2 transmitted packets and 2 received packets). Which would indicate that my internet connection is working fine (which is also verified by this other working internet connection on a winXP machine connected to same router+modem, from which i am actually writing this message) How do i proceed with this matter ? I wish to install X-windows server and finally get x-windows working ! Thanks for your help. - Ajay Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce:
