Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Internet-less box?

[Michael Denio]

You could go to 
ftp.ibiblio.org:/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles and pull the 
bz2's from there

Thanks for the reply, only one other problem I didn't state. The box with 
internet access is not a gentoo box... I have access from a Win2K account 
and/or from a rh7.3 account...

Is there another way?

Quoting Michael Denio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

 

You can use "emerge -f" on the machine with internet access and place 
the downloaded files from /usr/portage/distfiles into the same directory

on the machine without internet access.  I assume there is also ftp 
access to the tarballs so you could use that instead of "emerge -f"

Hi

I recently got hold of a live-cd containg gentoo stage1,2 and 3
     

tarballs and a 
   

few packages. I read through the /usr/share/doc/install.txt and also
     

read the 
   

portage manual and guide. I find the whole portages/emerge idea very 
interesting and would like to give it a try, except I have the little
     

problem 
   

of no internet access on the box I'm installing Gentoo.

I have internet access elsewhere, so my question is how would I go
     

about 
   

installing and keeping up to date, my gentoo box at home. There surely
     

must be 
   

a way to set up /etc/make.conf or whatever to lookup the files i
     

separetly 
   

downloaded and copied to /some/dir/. 

emerge sync, emerge -up world , ect all want to connect to the gentoo
     

mirrors.
   

Any help?
Thanks
Eugene
