Hello!

When I emerge KDE I use the following

 

#emerge –av –usepkg kde

 

-a =ask before emerging anything so that I can see which dependencies I need.

-v = verbose….

--usepkg it looks for the files in the PKGDIR before wanting to download.

 

I copied the files on the cd to a folder on my pc (/Install/CD_contents). So I had to export PKGDIR to point to this location before running emerge.

#export PKGDIR=/Install/CD_contents

 

Now when I run  emerge –av –usepkg kde it wants to download 163mb of data for dependencies. I have every one of those files that it wants to download in the /Install/CD_contents directory and don’t know what else to do. I have been struggling with this for a day now and don’t know what else to do to get emerge to look in /Install/CD_contents.

 

  On the previous installation I installed kde without any problems by exporting PKGDIR to point to the cdrom but I wanted to continue with other things on the cdrom this time but it doesn’t seem to work well for me now

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Tx Johan
