problem re ebuilds

Hi folks,

Installing Gentoo amd64
Guide:- Gentoo Linux AMD64 Handbook
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml



On running;
# emerge --sync --quiet

following warning popup:
* An update to portage is available.  It is highly
recommended
* that your update portage now, before any other packages
are updated
* please do so and then update All your configuration files
* end *


Ran;
# emerge update portage
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satify "update"
* end *

I left it aside and continued to;
Code Listing 22: installing a kernel source
# USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources

following warning popup;
Calculating denpendencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy
"gentoo-source"
* end *

Please advise how to solve these problems.  How to update
other
packages?  What are those packages?

TIA

B.R.

That should be "emerge --update portage"

Did you use gentoo-source or gentoo-sources? You indicate
you used the
latter but the error message claims you used the former, a
typo? The
correct name is gentoo-sources.

Hey...there's something scwewy going on around here. -E.

It's 'gentoo-sources', with a trailing 's'

And to update, you just emerge foo, not emerge update foo

Read the manpage for emerge to find out more options, or
check the
Gentoo handbook

Well, you tried to emerge a package by the name
"update". Try "emerge 
portage".
