well ye, you first copy over the contents of the first CD to /usr/portage/packages/ and /usr/porage/distfiles However this is *only* for sthe first CD. The sedond CD contains only ythe packages/All directory and according to the install guide, this has been done. > Well guess what!

Well can't say I haven't tried that but in a different way. emerge -k </path/package name> would find the dependencies to that particular package and install that . Now I did try fiddling with that and installed gnome* from the pakcages/All. However, I'm unable to find which of those packages has the gdm that starts up gnome. I will try listing the contents and 'grep'ing for gdm but well just wanted a lean mean system and this would bloat it up a bit. cheers, Sharath ===== -Sharath __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
