Re: [gentoo-user] ftp/iptables always in emerge world

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on a Internet-less box?
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 Eugene Van Dam wrote: 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 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You could go to ftp.ibiblio.org:/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles and pull the bz2's from there Eugene Van Dam wrote: 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?
