 |
|
I want to be able to manually DL the files that will be listed off when I execute but unfortunately the list is too massive to be read. And, when I try to add | Code: | | emerge -pf kde | less |
it still can't read it. Any solutions?

In what way is it too massive? Too many lines so your terminal scrolls? If so, then emerge -pf | less should do it (although you can also scroll virtual consoles by doing ctrl+pageup/pagedown). The best way is to do this:
| Code: |
$ emerge -pf kde 2>&1 >/dev/null | tr ' ' '\n' >downloads.txt
$ wget -i downloads.txt
|
This will dump the list of files to downloads.txt and then tell wget to download all the files. Of course, omit the wget step if you don't like it and use the list in downloads.txt yourself. |
