I think it was rsync was failing because of my firewall.  As previously 
noted, wget worked.  Question is, you said in your previous message, 
once you did the wget, emerge at will.  Can't locate any docs on emerge, 
I thought it was used to get the goods updated.  I've unpacked the goods 
in /usr as you noted, what do I do with emerge from that point?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
