after I do an
Code:
emerge --sync


I get this message.

Code:

 * An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
 * that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated.
 * Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files.


How do I do this? I can't seem to work it out from the documantation. :oops:

Thanks
