these kind of rsync errors are caused by a bad connection to the server. Are you running any kind of firewall blocking rsync communications?

If you have the latest loader it should add an option for native providing you have an active partition.

Your problem now is that you have deleted your portage profiles. Do an emerge sync again. It won't take very long this time as you have most of the files there already. When that is finished you might have to recreate your profiles symlink. rm -rf /etc/make.profile ln -sf /usr/portage/profiles/defau...

the predefined partition table is stored in the bios, you need to create a standard partition table on the disk it's as easy as the steps you have written.

It was not my intention to make this a big threas but, when I installed Gentoo on my other boxes Vim WAS included. The advantage of all *nix like os-es is that there is always VI or VIM, too bad gentoo doesn't fit this thought. Some people will never learn the power of VIm. Most people don't need t...

final scratch is whack, get with the times SSL is where it's at.

Back to the matter in hand,
What version of FS are you running, I thought it used a 2.4 kernel. What version kernel are you using on your desktop (exact version).
Don't forget fatx doesn't work on the 2.6 kernel.

gentoo doesn't come with VIM either, you have to install it. The reason for this is that VI is a bloated waste of time. etcat -v vim [ Results for search key : vim ] [ Candidate applications found : 5 ] Only printing found installed programs. * app-editors/vim : [ ] 6.3-r2 (0) [M~ ] 6.3-r4 (0) [M~ ]...
