I forgot to add a couple of things: 1. The chroot host (this box) is a multilib system, but the chroot client (the celeron box) is no-multilib. Could that make a difference? 2. While the fetching is hung, /bin/ps shows two emerge processes: one with status S and the other with D. Am I right in thinking that portage spawns another process to do the fetching, and waits for it to finish? I hope it's so anyway. That first thought was prompted by the instruction to "mount -o bind /lib/ modules /foo/lib/modules" in this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:X86/Chroot_Guide -- Regards, Peter.
