Well, still not working. I don't know what it could be. I even tried editing /etc/make.conf, and added the line SYNC="rsync://rsync.asia.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/" as is suggested in 'http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030317-newsletter.xml' to solve some problems with 'emerge sync'. i exchanged 'asia' with 'us', 'samerica', 'au', etc. but still the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks, Az. __________________________________________________________________ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network. Comprehensive protection for your entire computer.
