[gentoo-user] portage upgrade questions

[jed mallen]

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.

 Why not just use A/V when you run Windoze? AVG is still free and quite
 excellent.

 Both AVG and Avast sux hard! I used both of them, paid for updates,
 and despite of that I got viruses many times. Even clamav is better!
 They (avg/avast) offer virtually no protection against unknown viruses.
 No wonder, if you look at their scores on virusbtn.com :-(

 Wanna really good antivir-soft? Try nod32! Unfortunatelly, it is not
 free, and even trial-version is only for win-world. But it is worth
 of every penny. Frequent updates (can be also 2-3 times per day),
 perfect heuristic analysis, low cpu/mem load...

kaspersky is another nice one too.
