????????????????????????????? What 'updated howto'? Please provide an address for me. ????????????????????????????? Until the emerge sync step below the only howto I know is the web page below telling me to run 'emerge sync', and only after this step was complete did I receive the message that it was 'recommended' to update portage. Anyhow, I have updated portage. Now looking at config file changes, then on to one more emerge sync and finishing the build. Thanks, Mark ******************** >From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml 9.Getting the Current Portage Tree using sync Now, you will need to run emerge sync. This command tells Portage to download the most recent copy of the Gentoo Linux Portage tree. The Portage tree contains all the scripts (called ebuilds) used to build every package under Gentoo Linux. Currently, we have ebuild scripts for close to 4000 packages. Once emerge sync completes, you will have a complete Portage tree in /usr/portage. Code listing 9.1: Updating Using sync # emerge sync -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
