1 Me again....

3 I've been trying to "emerge system" using bootstrap-20010617.packages but
4 everything fails on ncurses. I get:

24 !!! Couldn't download ncurses-5.2-20010519.patch.gz. Aborting.
25 !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/sys-libs/ncurses/ncurses-5.2-r4.ebuild
26 .
27 ------------SNIP------------

29 It looks like the various patches are not on ibiblio or sourceforge (i
30 looked). I've tried removing them from the ebuild but the package won't
31 actually compile without them.
32
33 Is this just a matter of putting the patches on the ftp site or is there
34 more to this?
