I had the same problem - the developer who does Mirrorselect is aware of the issue. Reportedly it is only a problem when run from the LiveCD. To workaround, delete those ASCII codes from the end of your make.conf & add the Mirrors in manually. You should find something like the below suitable: [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ grep MIRROR /etc/make.conf # Portage uses GENTOO_MIRRORS to specify mirrors to use for source retrieval. #GENTOO_MIRRORS="<your_mirror_here> http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"; GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/gentoo/ http://gentoo.linux.no/ http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/pub/Linux/distrib/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ I tend to keep the first line handy for uncommenting, in case the European mirrors are slow in propagating updates.
