Thanks, but I'm having a little trouble emerging.

I made a '/usr/local/portage' directory and coppied the 'alloy-0.5.tar.bz2' file to it. I then modifyed my /etc/make.conf file and uncommented the the line PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage". When I try to 'emerge -p' it, here's what I get...

Sorry but I must be a total led head. I did what you said, as root, and got a /usr/local/portage/x11-themes/alloy directory. The 'emerge -p alloy still gives me the old 'alloy-0.4.1a'. So then I tried this...

Hmmm.... Yeah, I wasn't able to get the ebuild to download the tarball directly, either. but you can go directly to http://www.kde-look.org and download the package manually, and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles. It's the KDE 3.2 theme called alloy.

I'll try to correct that problem.

No problem.

I wasn't able to correct the problem with the URL, however. It looks like you'll have to download it manually, unless it's put up on the mirrors.

Then again, if it's put on the mirrors, then the ebuild will probably have made it into portage.

Anyway, the problem would have been corrected by fetch-restricting the ebuild, but I'll have to find out how to do that.

Sorry my last post wasn't too clear. What I ment to say was that with all your help, I was able to get it installed. I'm using the theme right now and loving it. I also now, have a better understanding of how portage works.

thanks again, oli
