How long does this step take? |

If it fails immediately (unlikely) then you have no connectivity to your name |
19 |
servers. |
20 |
If it takes 30 seconds, then you have broken name servers. |
21 |
|
22 |
Check what's in /etc/resolv.conf, use dig to see what comes back and change |
23 |
your name servers as necessary. |
24 |
|
25 |
Failing that, change your mirror or just download that file manually from |
26 |
gentoo.org. |
