If you have booted from a Gentoo LiveCD, you are able to use <c>mirrorselect</c> |
21 |
In order to download source code quickly it is recommended to select a fast |
| 22 |
to update <path>/etc/make.conf</path> so fast mirrors are used for both Portage |
22 |
mirror. Go to our <uri link="/main/en/mirrors.xml">mirror list</uri> and search |
| 23 |
and source code (of course this requires a working network connection): |
23 |
for a mirror (or mirrors) close to you (as those are most frequently the |
|
|
24 |
fastest ones). Write down the URLs, open <path>/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf</path> |
| 25 |
in your favorite editor and define the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable with those |
| 26 |
URLs. |

If for some reason <c>mirrorselect</c> fails, don't panic. This step is |
38 |
To have Portage use a local RSYNC mirror, define the SYNC variable with |
| 32 |
completely optional, the default values suffice. |
39 |
<c>rsync://rsync.<country>.gentoo.org</c> where <c><country></c> is |
|
|
40 |
the country code for your country. |

You can also use <c>mirrorselect</c> to obtain good settings. This application |
| 50 |
will download the list of mirrors from our website and display the available |
| 51 |
mirrors to you in a nice interface. You can then select the mirrors you want to |
| 52 |
use. |
| 53 |
</p> |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
<p> |
| 56 |
In the next example, we will run <c>mirrorselect</c> twice: once to select a few |
| 57 |
source code mirrors and once to select an rsync mirror. As our |
| 58 |
<path>make.conf</path> file is located in <path>/mnt/gentoo/etc</path> instead |
| 59 |
of in <path>/etc</path> we'll need to redirect <c>mirrorselect</c>'s output. |

</pre> |

<p> |
| 68 |
After running <c>mirrorselect</c> it is adviseable to double-check the settings |
| 69 |
in <path>/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf</path>. |
