E-mail sent to www@gentoo.org by John Larsen <jlarsen@fsu.edu>:

"""
small error in quick install
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml

cp -R /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles

should be

cp -R /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/

otherwise you end of up with everything in
/mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles/distfiles/
"""

Could the docdev that takes this bug verify if this is indeed the case?
