Optional: Downloading the Sources

If you want emerge to download the sources before you continue (for
instance because you don't want the internet connection to be left open
while you are building all packages) you can use the --fetchonly option of
emerge which will fetch all sources for you.

Aren't we 'Oh!, so proud.' of the Democrats' mud-slinging & appeal to silly
imaginary non-issues all the time? Yes, I see how some thumb-sucking,
whiny, brattish, immature people 'get off' on this kind of stuff.
