Hello, I have an old gentoo box (2.6.11-r3) that has no internet access at home which I'm trying to resurrect.
I have another box at work that has internet access running XP. What do I need to do to update my gentoo box at home? I got some distfiles/* from the mirrors and copied them to /usr/portage/distfiles at home. But everytime I do emerge (eg: "emerge package" or "emerge -k package"), it still tries to connect to the internet (which I don't have) looking for the package I want to install. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to do something to the *.tar.bz files I got from the mirrored distfiles? Something about ebuild? I'm confused. Thanks and more power to gentoo.org. -- Jed R.
