>-If you have booted from a Gentoo LiveCD, you are able to use <c>mirrorselect</c>

>-and source code (of course this requires a working network connection):
>+In order to download source code quickly it is recommended to select a fast
>+mirror. Go to our <uri link="/main/en/mirrors.xml">mirror list</uri> and search
>+for a mirror (or mirrors) close to you (as those are most frequently the 
>+fastest ones). Write down the URLs, open <path>/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf</path> 
>+in your favorite editor and define the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable with those

>+To have Portage use a local RSYNC mirror, define the SYNC variable with
>+<c>rsync://rsync.&lt;country&gt;.gentoo.org</c> where <c>&lt;country&gt;</c> is
>+the country code for your country.

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