Hi, Installing Gentoo using a router, I have got to the stage where I can bootstrap the system but I cannot then emerge the system, as portage is unable to connect to any download servers (although it is able to resolve their IP addresses.) I need to have my MTU set to 1400 in order to use the Internet properly on all operating systems, and I can set it to 1400 with a 'ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400' before chrooting into the bootstrapped environment, but I don't know if it retains this setting once chrooted, and I can't set it again because ifconfig is a system component. Anyone got any ideas of how to get Gentoo to connect? -- ~ Ben Goodger ~ Join MSN Hotmail today and get free spam delivered straight to your inbox! ~ www.getfirefox.com -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
