Hi All, I'm using the live CD along with the 2nd CD for my installation.
I am successfully able to install xfree86 and start it up. However, then I try to install gnome, emerge throws up quiet a few errors and fails to proceed. >>> emerge (1 of 117) gnome-base/ORBit2-2.6.1 to / >>> Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/ORBit2-2.6.1.tar.bz2 ... ... ... !!! Couldn't download ORBit2-2.6.1.tar.bz2. Aborting. After this I type 'emerge -k <ORBit2's full path>' and this proceeds. However, 'emerge gnome' again spits out error messages similar to the above with other packages. Also 'emerge -k gnome' also ends up with the similar problems. I'm not installing using a net connection. I have copied all the packages from /mnt/cdrom/packages/* to /usr/portage/packages from my second CD. -Is there any other configuration that I need to perform? -why isn't emerge able to find the packages from my local harddisk? -has anyone else tried installing gnome from the CD and does it work? if yes could you let me know the steps.
