 Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2004 1:03 pm Post subject: Networkless Install - Package downloads |
 |
|
Okay, I am trying to install via the CDROM. My goal is to get a version of Gentoo running on a SPARC system with the SELinux installation. I have downloaded 2004.1 and begun the install. Unfortunately I am behind a firewall that will not let me sync, ftp, or run the emerge-webrsync script. I am downloading everything through a web browser.
Right now I am trying to download the proper kernel by hand. I determine the packages that I need to download with this command:
| Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge -p hardened-dev-sources
|
I tells me that I need sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.0 and sys-kernel/hardened-dev-sources-2.6.4-r4. I have looked for these on several mirrors in the /dist directory to no avail. I am planning on just slapping them into /usr/portage/distfiles which should allow these to install correctly.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Also, is there another way I can update my portage so that I is current? I am thinking that I need to download the latest portage package but this would be tedious time and time again.

The script emerge-webrsync tries to download the latest portage snapshots from one of the mirrors listed in your /etc/make.conf. Maybe you have ftp mirrors defined.
Could you try with an http mirror like http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo ?
If that does not work, you can also download the lastest snapshot yourself, extract it and rsync against it.
Look inside /usr/sbin/emerge-webrsync to know how to do it or ask for help 
To know what files you need and where to get them, use emerge -pf whatever
You'll get a list of files with the fullpaths to the possible mirrors.
Download them to /usr/portage/distfiles
