This is clearly documented in the rsync man page; rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED] makes it use a specific user. rsync uses ssh by default now. MIRRORS covers where source tarballs are downloaded from. As you don't want to compile on the server, you should be setting PORTAGE_BINHOST. See man make.conf. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error #10: Insufficient money spent in hardware.
