Can you browse from your xubuntu? Looks like you are not connected to |
| 11 |
internet. If you are able to browse from xubuntu, then copy the |
| 12 |
/etc/resolv.conf file from xubuntu to gentoo partition: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |

Nope. Nothing to do with this. |

22 mins is very long time. Generally stage3 tarball should take longer |
| 29 |
than portage, probably have to do with the verbose flag of tar command |
| 30 |
(it slows the process when using a slow terminal). |

No the numbers don't matter. |
