Section 15.1 has a code listing of: emerge -k sys-kernel/gentoo-sources to use the gentoo-sources kernel. Entering this gives the following results: Calculating dependencies ...done! emerge (1 of 1) sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20.r5 to / Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 [gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5] bash: line 1: /usr/bin/proz: No such file or directory etc etc etc Couldn't download linuz-2.4.20.tar.bz2.

Have you by any chance ran "emerge sync"? If so, then "emerge -k foobar" won't always work. Try using "-K" instead of "-k".
It can also be that you've somehow mistyped some commands that placed the sourcecode in /usr/portage/packages. Check its content (after chrooting). It should contain a directory called "All", and inside that directory all Gentoo packages should reside.
Sadly that didn't work. I looked in /usr/portage/packages and there were lots of .bz2 files, but no directory named "All". I'm a bit confused as to why it's trying to connect to the internet to download these packages. Is there a config file somewhere that tells it where to look?
That's actually the problem. emerge can't find the packages, since emerge searches in /usr/portage/packages/All, not in /usr/portage/packages. You should move them all into a directory called "All": """ cd /usr/portage mv packages tmpAll mkdir -p packages/All mv tmpAll/* packages/All/ rmdir tmpAll """ Quite some time ago, the installation docs had the wrong GRP instructions. Perhaps you were using an old installation doc (or an old LiveCD). This is now fixed.
I'm marking this as "FIXED" since it is probably due to old documentation.
