9 So, does that mean that the link is in place? (if no you need to create it
10 anyway) and this is portage which is absent?
11 Under normal conditions I would tell you do:
12 emerge rsync (or even better emerge --clean rsync if you did that step at some
13 point already). Since you do not have Internet access at home you need to
14 download portage tree and unpack it under /usr (so that /usr/portage is
15 created).
16 You can get it here:

18 Please also check faq for more advice on how to use gentoo without a (fast)
19 connection at home.
