    Trouble installing Gentoo :(

    I'm installing gentoo on my box, (Erasing debian) but when I try to :
    emerge -k sys-kernel/gentoo-sources

    I get this:

    Calculating dependenices. please correct.
    emerge, there are no mask's or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "sis-kernel/gentoo-sources".

    What does this mean?

    there are no mask's or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "sis-kernel/gentoo-sources".

    it means you mis-spelled sys-kernel

    You can also just "emerge -k gentoo-sources" since there are no other packages called that

    Hi

    I am trying to install gentoo too but I encoutered this problem.
    I typed

    # emerge gentoo-sources

    but i get the same error :

    emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "gentoo-sources"

    I also tried specifying sys-kernel/gentoo-sources but nothing changes.
    I tried doing :

    # emerge --search gentoo
    # emerge --search sources

    But gentoo-sources is never liste :S

    I cannot really understand what to do, do you have some kind of tip ?

    Thanks in advance

    I guess you got it fixed by now -- had you downloaded and unpacked portage yet?

    I forgot to sync portage using

    # emerge --sync

    Done that everything worked fine.
