OK I edited /etc/crontab to this: 30 1 * * * root emerge sync b) runs rsyncd to make the server's portage tree available to the internal gentoo systems. OK following these pages: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. ON the internal server I 'emerge rsync' Then edited the /etc/rsync.conf file as specified and ran rc-update. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy On each system I added these entries to the /etc/make.conf file: GENTOO_MIRRORS="192.168.2.9" SYNC="rsync://192.168.2.9" So that they both sync and download files from the internal server > c) runs http-replicator as a download proxy.

Following http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator I get: emerge http-replicator Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "http-replicator" have been masked. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
