Well thanks from some help on #gentoo amd installing 1.4 using the 1.2
bootdisc.
Unfortunately I'm running into no end of problems. For some reason wget is
getting stalled halfway through a lot of the downloads. Consequently when I
ctrl-c it, it resumes (eventually) the bootstrap.sh procedure, except
sometimes the larger files are corrupt, so I get a error message saying
delete corrupt file *.tgz and reget it.
So I start bootstrap.sh again! So far since last night I've had not much
luck. So I've downloaded the stage 2 tarball (thankfully it downloaded OK)
and am starting from there!!
I wonder if the NTL transparent proxy is causing me problems!
Anyway am on emerge system now!
Cheers
Chris
