Portage tries to chown that directory to root, so if distfiles is mounted such that creating root files/dirs isn't allowed, portage will fail. That might be the difference between your machines.... check for differences between the /etc/fstab files. If that doesn't help, you could try deleting /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src, and then run portage again (as root). Alain -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
