1 Okay... so I'm not the only one this is happening to. I'm trying to get 1.1a
2 up and running on a 128meg Duron 700 and a 96meg K6-2 400 both with the same
3 results you report.

15 i've had the 1.0 prerelease working for several
16 months and decided to do a fresh install of the
17 newest 1.1a.
18
19 1) there's no longer the new colorful prompt just
20 after chrooting in, doing the env-update, and sourcing
21 /etc/profile
22
23 2) portage has major difficulty during a compile of
24 binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3.tar.bz2 each time i've tried
25 to run the bootstrap.sh script, the compile stops at
26 random (generally in the middle of a autoconf/make? step
27 where it checks this or that, etc.).
28 i've tried this about 4 times varying compiler
29 options and .isos (1.0, 1.1, 1.1a). where it stops is
30 different each time. when i control-c, it says that
31 portage is being killed by SIGINIT; exiting, then it
32 just hangs, i.e. it isn't killed.
33
34 any ideas as to how i can get a new system up and running?
35 is this a portage problem or a binutils problem???
