Ah, that does make things difficult. I assume you don't have sshd =20 running on that VM. Being able to ssh in to a VM is often very =20 helpful, but you need to have set it up before you have problems. =20 Actually - if you can scp into the VM, you should be able to ssh. Can =20 you?

Error: cannot update list of news items for repository "gentoo" Yes indeed, that's very odd. What command is that in response to? I =20 would expect "emerge --sync" to update that, but I probably would not =20 try that until you get portage straightened out.
