when i try to bootstrap, i type in:

cd /usr/portage
scripts/bootstrap.sh

and it tells me scripts/bootstrap.sh does not exist.... ive tryed twice now... please help!

Are you missing a "/" ?

ie:

cd /usr/portage
scripts/bootstrap.sh

shouldn't it be:

cd /user/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh

This is just a shot in the dark, I doubt it'd be that easy.

Did you extract the stage1 tarball? The instructions show the example with the stage3 filename. If so, have you ran an emerge sync successfully?

If you have done those, pm me with your email and I can email you the bootstrap.sh from my system. Of course, I don't know what else might be missing from the install.

I would definitely do an "emerge sync" then retry the bootstrap.sh

that was my problem... i am now waiting for the system to finish compiling

That takes a while to finish compiling...I just finished mine up, getting the user interfaces compiled now.
