'emerge -uDp world' onto my Debian box at work.Well one way to do it is to install portage at you Debian box, then at you
home box do a "emerge -uDp > package_list", take the package_list file on a
floppy to your Debian list, and (of course on you debian box you have to have
done a emerge sync) do a emerge -f $( < package_list )...
There is no need to install Porthge on Debian - IMO this is an unessesary complication.
As per my other posting today:
...you could `emerge -Ufp world >> somefile.txt` on your Gentoo system... This will give you a full URL [corrected] to all the files you need to download (I think it is neatest if you only have one mirror listed in the GENTOO_MIRRORS line of /etc/make.conf).... on your friend's system, ... you should be able to pipe somefile.txt into wget, or write a one-line Bash to `for $PACKAGE in somefile.txt do wget $PACKAGE done`, or something. Save the downloaded source tarballs on the friend's hard-drive, then get him to burn them to CD for you.
HTH,
Stroller.
