Get the stage3 cd for your arch or for stage1 * download all the required sources first... * and a portage snapshot * then copy all of them to /usr/portage/distfiles * follow the docs * instead of doing a emerge sync unpack your portage snapshot using the command in the docs This is how I done my home machine works like a dream Regards Wayne -- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
