emerge mirrorselect is further down the page under "Last configuration touches". Which is a puzzlement. Before failing portage tried connecting to a long list of sites. |

How did portage know where to look? make.conf has only the CFLAGS and CHOST lines. Nothing about where to look for files. |

Yeah, the weird thing is I could download stuff onto the Desktop but not emerge or even wget from the chrooted environment. |

So I shut everything down and rebooted. The only thing I did different this time was to neglect to set up or start ssh. Mounted the drives, chrooted and emerged gentoo-sources. Worked fine. |

BTW, I followed the advice on the eeepc forum not to install a swap partition. I wonder if that is why the portage tarball took so long to unpack. |

IIRC tuxonice's wifi wouldn't work so I used xubuntu, wifi starts up automaticamente on this model. |
