Collins, welcome back to the Gentoo distro which you had helped me long time ago. <br>
if i understand your question correctly you need to emerge
gentoo-sources with this command to get the kernel source
downloaded. i hope this help you.<br>

I know we have a few Gentoo users in the area, so perhaps someone will<br>know the answer.<br><br>I'm trying to put up a Gentoo system again after a year or more. The<br>current Gentoo install and livecd stuff doesn't work worth a darn, so
<br>I'm back to the tried and true stage3 tarball method. No problems<br>downloading and untarring the stage3 tarball and portage snapshot, but<br>'emerge gentoo-sources' failes looking for<br>genpatches-2.6.15-8.extras.tar.bz2
(not found on any mirror that it<br>tries).<br><br>My memory has failed. How do I find and communicate to portage other<br>mirrors to try for emerge? Or must I wait several days until they get<br>around to propagating the patches to the standard mirrors?
<br><br>Sigh! One of the most frustrating aspects of updating any distro from<br>the internet is when the developers decide to update something without<br>pushing all the pieces to the mirrors.<br><br>--<br>Collins Richey
