If you're still having out of memory problems, have you checked that you have enabled your swap? I had this problem last week and discovered that once I switched to the chroot environment, I hadn't enabled my swap space. This can be done by swapon /dev/hda2 (or whatever partition you setup as your swap partition). As far as emerge rsync goes, this particular command will not recompile anything, only sync your local portage tree with one of the mirrors. HTH Martin
