 |
|
what i'm trying to do is this:
first, to download the package/s that i want and theire dependencies (i wrote it correctly? ). and then, when i'm offline...to install them...how can i do it?
*the reason for this is that i can't let my computer be online much time downloading packages without my supervising->sitting in front of the screen.

| Code: | | emerge -f <package> |
Or replace -f with --fetchonly. This is gonna download all the necessary files (including deps) in one bunch. You can now disconnect and install everything. |

I think you want
| Code: | | emerge -f packagename |
this will just download the distfiles and not install them.
Then when you do an
it will see it already has the distfiles, and proceed from there.
