kaspersky is another nice one too.

[gentoo-user] portage upgrade questions

2006-03-06 Thread jed mallen 
Hello,

I have an old gentoo box (2.6.11-r3) that has no internet access at
home which I'm trying to resurrect.

I have another box at work that has internet access running XP.

What do I need to do to update my gentoo box at home?

I got some distfiles/* from the mirrors and copied them to
/usr/portage/distfiles at home.

But everytime I do emerge (eg: "emerge package" or "emerge -k
package"), it still tries to connect to the internet (which I don't
have) looking for the package I want to install.

What am I doing wrong?

Do I need to do something to the *.tar.bz files I got from the
mirrored distfiles? Something about ebuild? I'm confused.

Thanks and more power to gentoo.org.
