depends what you are doing. Do you have network on your vmware machine? Make sure you have pcnet drivers compiled into your kernel and you are getting and IP address. This will enable you to get the latest version of KDE. Compiling KDE may take a long long time.
--------------
if you dont have a network connection, make sure you have the cd kde ebuild in your /usr/portage/kde-base/kde
copy your distfiles from cdrom /mnt
| Code: | | cp /mnt/cdrom/distfiles/<kde ebuild version> /usr/portage/distfiles/ |
to check what will be installed
(-k, use local packages and a -p, pretend if you were to install, what will be installed)
if the packages are listed, then you should be fine and install with an
(without the -p)
its good practice to always do and emerge -p to check the version before you install or even check if it has been installed
