I could not find the currently running kernel you are using in this thread. |
| 22 |
Possibly, you are hitting an issue caused by a feature lacking in that kernel. |
| 23 |
What did you boot your machine with prior to starting the installation? |
| 24 |
Please also include the version and URL where you downloaded this from. |

Michael "grimlog" Schreckenbauer actually already told you how to do this: |
| 30 |
** |
| 31 |
If you cannot upgrade your kernel right now, you can disable the sandbox |
| 32 |
FEATURES="-sandbox" in /etc/make.conf |
| 33 |
(I do not recommend this) |
| 34 |
** |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The "sandbox" is a security feature. If you disable it to get the install |
| 37 |
working and a newer kernel-version. Please undo this change after the first |
| 38 |
boot into the new kernel. |

In other words, they're all broken. |

A good Email client will allow you to send non-HTML email. Puts "quote" marks |
| 49 |
in front of the lines and add a "bladibla wrote this" or similar line. |
| 50 |
It should also allow you to easily put your reply at the bottom of the email. |
| 51 |

GMail has been mentioned a few times as doing things wrongly. I won't even |
| 53 |
mention the many ways in which MS Outlook does things badly and Thunderbird |
| 54 |
wants to be a copy of MS Outlook. |

Lets see if we can find out. |

Using the current live-cd from the gentoo website, I managed to install Gentoo |
| 67 |
without problem. If you are using an older kernel-version, you are likely |
| 68 |
using an older live-cd / host-environment. For this, there are usually work- |
| 69 |
arounds, but it might be an idea to start with a more current live-cd |
| 70 |
environment. |

Dear Joost, thank you! Indeed this is the problem, my LiveCD is an old one. I'm not at home right now but I can bet it will work if I will create a new LiveCD. I haven't take that into consideration as I thought that it won't be a problem since I download the kernel. |

Anyway, thanks! I will send a new email in the this evening with solved. |
