My repos.conf is below. [gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://kwopper/portage auto-sync = true [alec] location = /usr/local/portage sync-type = git sync-uri = git://github.com/trozamon/overlay.git auto-sync = true Naturally, you can replace the sync-uri in the gentoo section with "rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage", so yours would be: [gentoo] location = /usr/portage sync-type = rsync sync-uri = rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage auto-sync = true Regards, Alec
