 |
|
Hi everyone. Im still quit new to Gentoo, but I managed to get the base system installed. Now that thats done I booted up and was ready to installed Xfree and the rest of the software from the second CD (started the Stage 3 installation) anyway I did the | Code: | | mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/gentoo |
followed by | Code: | | cp -a /mnt/cdrom/packages/* /usr/portage/packages/ |
I managed to emerge sudo but anything else looks for a server to download the tarballs from even though they are located on the drive.
I hope you can understand my post and thank you very much for your help.
Regards
Ross |

First off, you are using | Code: | | emerge -k something |
right? So if you are, and you did indeed get the files copied in the right place(seems you have but I'd think that using the -r option for cp would be better suited than everything -a does), and the emerge of packages that you copied are trying to download, then I'd say that you musta ran at some point. Thus, portage has newer ebuilds and it won't want to use the packages from the CD. Compare the versions of a package that's downloading. Do | Code: | | emerge -p something |
and then see if the version number in the /usr/portage/packages/All directory is different from what you get above. Somebody catch me if I'm wrong here....  but if you have not fully installed anything that tried to download the source, you can remove everything in /usr/portage except the packages and distfiles directories and untar the snapshot from the CD again. Then things should work.
