Nothing in /usr/src, where my kernel source?

Heys Guys,

First time installing Gentoo, long time RedHat & Mandrake user. Following the guide, I'm on step 7.b. Installing the Sources. I emerged the sources, but when I get the the step for viewing the kernel source symlink, there is nothing there. If I do an ls on /usr/src, it is empty. No Linux folder containing my kernel source. Did I miss a step somewhere along the line or did something not install correctly. I assume this step must be resolved before I can compile my kernel.

Thank for the help

Did you get any errors from emerge? Are you sure that you are in a chrooted shell (cd /mnt/gentoo - if it exists you are not)?

You could as well download a kernel from kernel.org and untar it into /usr/src/.

No errors from emerge. I'm in the correct shell because the chroot step went ok and I only have floppy in the /mnt directory, no /mnt/gentoo.

How can I download a kernel from kernel.org from the Gentoo console I currently have?
