Add/edit the following line in your /etc/make.conf: SYNC="rsync://<server_of_choice>/gentoo-portage/" And be sure you have: GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.linux.org.mt/mirror/gentoo/ http://gentoo.waldonet.net.mt/"; Check the speed differences between the two servers and plae the fastest one for your connection as the first. > 3) I've noticed that apart from gentoo, the server also has > gentoo-portage. does this mean I can sync if Rysnc is installed (I > suspect this is the bit of portage that needs rsync) Correct. Rsync in installed from day 1 on a Gentoo system. Regs. Iain.
