Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo extras cd
Thanks all for the replies, I'll have a look at getdelta, I was more after something like where for Debian you can get the 12CD/4DVD set and just apt-get the packages locally. re Nick, just get a whole lot of binary packages on CD/DVD is what im after. Cheers Justin Kelly Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] you are mixing two issues here - do you want to download sources faster and still compile them yourself, or just get binary packages?

Other than the packages cd that is released with each new gentoo release cycle I am not aware of anything for ppc. If you are on x86 there is http://chinstrap.alternating.net - although I am not usre if they are still alive - and you still need to download the binaries. However, and I will be frank here, if you are not able to download (either sources or binaries), and if you unwilling to compile stuff, gentoo may not be for you. :-) Cheers Justin Kelly -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo extras cd
Hi, I know that for x86/AMd 64 there is a Packages CD. Try searching on your country mirrors for the CD.

I don't mind paying for such a CD/DVD. ie. So i can just emerge -K inkscape etc..., all the useful desktop type packages that aren't included in the packages CD. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated. Justin Kelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
