    No, you shouldn't have to do any such thing. Just make sure you
    have set up in your '/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf' the correct
    rsync mirror and commented out the server on the Internet; e.g.:

    OK, I tried it on my other used Lenovo laptop (thimk2) and it works.
    But "inquiring minds want to know"...

    * In your instructions '/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf' is the file
    to change sync-uri in (and it works).

    * In https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_Mirror the file to change is
    given as /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo-mirror.conf There is no such
    file on my system. Should I file a documentation bug?

    I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with
    frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista,
    pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All
    those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.

    Yes, I think it should be updated. This wiki page states what's currently the convention:

    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/ Files#Gentoo_ebuild_repository

    However, *.conf files can be nested and portage will parse them all the same. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

    Yes, I think it should be updated.

    Problem; "https://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi" specifically says "Documentation: Documentation other than Wiki and translations."
    The documentation problem is on the wiki page. Now what?

    I suppose you create an account and edit it? Or see if you can reach out to the last contributor and perhaps he will correct it:
