>-If you have booted from a Gentoo LiveCD, you are able to use <c>mirrorselect</c>
>-to update <path>/etc/make.conf</path> so fast mirrors are used for both Portage
>-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. Portage will look in your <path>make.conf</path> file for the
>+GENTOO_MIRRORS variable and use the mirrors listed therein. You can surf 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), but we provide a nice tool called <c>mirrorselect</c> which
>+provides you with a nice interface to select the mirrors you want.

>+A second important setting is the SYNC setting in <path>make.conf</path>. This
>+variable contains the rsync server you want to use when updating your Portage
>+tree (the collection of ebuilds, scripts containing all the information Portage
>+needs to download and install software). Although you can manually enter a SYNC
>+server for yourself, <c>mirrorselect</c> can ease that operation for you:

>+<pre caption="Selecting an rsync mirror using mirrorselect">
>+# mirrorselect -i -r -o &gt;&gt; /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf
> </pre>

>-If for some reason <c>mirrorselect</c> fails, don't panic. This step is
>-completely optional, the default values suffice.
>+After running <c>mirrorselect</c> it is adviseable to double-check the settings
>+in <path>/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf</path> !
