 |
|
My machine can not access internet, can I install gentoo without network?
I have downloaded install-universal livecd ISO image, I use this CD to boot gentoo, and copy stage3, portage, and distfiles onto my harddisk. But when I step into "make kernel", the kernel source must be downloaded from network!
| Code: | # emerge gentoo-source
|
Could I download kernel sources(or other application sources) at first, and copy them onto my harddisk to install?
How can I do?

gentoo-sources are on the second CD (package cd) in All/ directory. You can install them with: | Code: | | emerge -K gentoo-sources |

I have copied packages from the second CD to my distfiles directory:
| Code: | # cp -p /mnt/cdrom/All/* /usr/portage/distfiles/
# ls /usr/portage/distfiles/gentoo-sources*
/usr/portage/distfiles/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r3.tbz2 |
But when I tried to install kernel, I got error message like this:
| Code: | # emerge -K gentoo-sources
Calculating dependencies
!!! There are no packages available to satisfy "gentoo-sources"
!!! Either add a suitable binary package or compile form an ebuild. |

I'm sorry, but I gave you wrong instructions. There're no prebuilt version of kernel sources! What you need to do is just to copy sources over (cp -p /mnt/cdrom/All/* /usr/portage/distfiles/) and install them with:
| Code: | | emerge gentoo-sources |
since the -K switch forces to use binaries. |
