 |
|
| I am using the minimal cd to run gentoo livecd and I need to copy over the distfiles. How am I suppose to download the distfiles folder? I see it on the mirrors for gentoo but I can not tell it to download the content it is just giving me the folder itself.. Why didnt someone zip the files or something? |

How are you trying to download the distfiles?
Using wget?

You don't need to download the source files yourself. Emerge will download those when it needs them.
