emerge mirrorselect is further down the page under "Last configuration touches".  Which is a puzzlement. Before failing portage tried connecting to a long list of sites.
How did portage know where to look? make.conf has only the CFLAGS and CHOST lines. Nothing about where to look for files.

Yeah, the weird thing is I could download stuff onto the Desktop but not emerge or even wget from the chrooted environment.

So I shut everything down and rebooted. The only thing I did different this time was to neglect to set up or start ssh. Mounted the drives, chrooted and emerged gentoo-sources. Worked fine.

BTW, I followed the advice on the eeepc forum not to install a swap partition. I wonder if that is why the portage tarball took so long to unpack. 

IIRC tuxonice's wifi wouldn't work so I used xubuntu, wifi starts up automaticamente on this model.

Portage uses sensible defaults wherever possible.

Did you copy /etc/resolv.conf to your chroot?

I'm sending this from my Eee PC 900 running tuxonice-sources-2.6.29-r1,
you need to enable ATH5K.
