 |
|
I just realize that I forgot to tell you a very important thing:
I'M NOT CONECTED TO ANY NETWORK!!!!
I'm using my old laptop and I don't have any internet connection.
So of course, when I write It doesn't work as gentoo can't get to the web.
Still, I downloaded the pakages cd from internet and a version of xfree is on it...
Now, wht should I tye to instal the xfree I've got on my cd??? |

You mean the packages CD, right? Here is how to do it:
| Code: | # mount /mnt/cdrom
# export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"
# emerge -k pkgname
|
More info here:

ok, the pakage name is
xfree-4.3.0-r5.tbz2
and it's on the cd in the "All" Folder
now if I type: | Code: | | emerge -k [i]xfree-4.3.0-r5.tbz2[/i] |
it says:
there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "xfree-4.3.0-r5.tbz2
I'm sure I made a very dum mistake!!! What should I type exactely???
Thanks |
