Once you've done "emerge sync" the game's pretty much over. The problem is that half the packages you copied are now more than likely outdated and portage always tries to install the latest available that matches your stability requirements. You should be able to jump a through hoops to get it to use your packages though. Look at the following example. bash-2.05b# emerge -p abiword These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-python/pyxml-0.8.3 [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libglade-2.0.1 [ebuild N ] app-text/aspell-0.50.4.1 [ebuild N ] app-dicts/aspell-en-0.51.0 [ebuild N ] app-text/enchant-1.1.1 [ebuild N ] app-text/wv-1.0.0 [ebuild N ] dev-libs/fribidi-0.10.4 [ebuild N ] app-office/abiword-2.0.1 bash-2.05b# ls /usr/portage/packages/All/pyxml-* /usr/portage/packages/All/pyxml-0.8.2.tbz2 bash-2.05b# emerge --oneshot -k =dev-python/pyxml-0.8.2 [...] bash-2.05b# ls /usr/portage/packages/All/libglade-* /usr/portage/packages/All/libglade-2.0.1.tbz2 bash-2.05b# emerge --oneshot -k libglade [...] bash-2.05b# ls /usr/portage/packages/All/aspell-* /usr/portage/packages/All/aspell-0.50.4.tbz2 bash-2.05b# emerge --oneshot -k =app-text/aspell-0.50.4 [...] [...] bash-2.05b# ls /usr/portage/packages/All/abiword-* /usr/portage/packages/All/abiword-2.0.1.tbz2 bash-2.05b# emerge -k abiword Sounds like a nightmare right? If you really don't want to update any packages, you could "rm -rf /usr/portage" and then extract the snapshot from your installation CD again. Just remember, the longer you wait to update the system the more updates there will be. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
