[gentoo-user] emerge -up world

[Eugene Van Dam]

How does emerge -up world decide which packages it wants to install?
What if there is a package 
(ex.   [ebuildU ] net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.22_p3-r3  )
that i do not want to install? How can I remove or change what emerge -u 
world would do?


Thanks for the time
Eugene

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Internet-less box?

[Eugene Van Dam]

Hi

I recently got hold of a live-cd containg gentoo stage1,2 and 3 tarballs and a 
few packages. I read through the /usr/share/doc/install.txt and also read the 
portage manual and guide. I find the whole portages/emerge idea very 
interesting and would like to give it a try, except I have the little problem 
of no internet access on the box I'm installing Gentoo.

I have internet access elsewhere, so my question is how would I go about 
installing and keeping up to date, my gentoo box at home. There surely must be 
a way to set up /etc/make.conf or whatever to lookup the files i separetly 
downloaded and copied to /some/dir/. 

emerge sync, emerge -up world , ect all want to connect to the gentoo mirrors.

Any help?
Thanks
Eugene

Thanks for the reply, only one other problem I didn't state. The box with 
internet access is not a gentoo box... I have access from a Win2K account 
and/or from a rh7.3 account...

Is there another way?

Eugene

Quoting Michael Denio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 You can use emerge -f on the machine with internet access and place 
 the downloaded files from /usr/portage/distfiles into the same directory
 
 on the machine without internet access.  I assume there is also ftp 
 access to the tarballs so you could use that instead of emerge -f
