Okay, here I am in the middle of my new Gentoo stage1 installation. I got to the part where you run 'emerge system' and ran it. Thinking the computer would be compiling for some time, I went away and was doing things.

Not too long later, I came back to find that emerge had run into an error. It said that I should download the file 'j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip' from 'http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html' and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles. So I opened up links (which is way better than lynx), found the appropriate file, and downloaded it. j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip is currently in /usr/portage/distfiles.

dWhen I run 'emerge system' now, I get this:
# emerge system
Calculating system dependencies... done!
>>> emerge (1 of 72) dev-java/ java-sdk-docs-1.4.1 to /

!!! File is corrupt or incomplete. (Digests do not match)

!!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//j2sdk-1_4_1-doc.zip


Note that the program put two slashes in between the pathname and the directory name.

I'm afraid that this might be because I did not update portage when prompted. There was an error, and I (probably incorrectly) thought that I could continue as normal and fix it later.

As always, any and all help is greatly appriciated. I really want Gentoo Linux!

(the first console with the image backround really impressed me. My dad thought that I had already gotten X installed :p)

It's been a while, but I think you could delete the java entry in the portage database in /var/"something I can't remember" - but it has a listing for different files listed by portage. And if you can find it, delete the name, and then run "emerge sync" again it should straighten out. I hope some one with more recent experience can help or check the gentoo forums-type in "digests do not match" and you should find what you're looking for. Good luck.
