Re: [gentoo-user] Portage tree on a CD
Actually, the people at Edmunds Enterprises are Really Nice People! I sent a mail to their sales@ address saying I'd like to buy their Gentoo sources CDs but they don't ship to France - they (temporarily) added France to the list of countries they ship to. Problem solved, order made :) rlc On Mon, Aug 25, 2003 at 06:38:53PM +0200, Ronald Landheer-Cieslak wrote: On Mon, Aug 25, 2003 at 09:43:17AM -0400, Phil Sexton wrote: On Monday, 25 August 2003, at 11:53 am, Ronald Landheer-Cieslak wrote: ...Any pointers?

-Original Message- From: Ronald Landheer-Cieslak Sent: 25 August 2003 12:53 I'm looking to buy a CD(-set) containing the current (or 1.4) portage tree. I am *not* looking for pre-built binaries: I want to avoid having to download the distfiles as I have a simple modem connection and I want to update my installation (and install Lyx, which requires tetex, which is 50 MB with its dependencies) I would really be interested in the same thing Regards Wayne This message, including any attachments, may contain information which is confidential, private or privileged in nature.

Speaking of FREAKS, SHAWN KELLEY IS BACK! He is annoying me right now with his incessant blabber! He yacks longer than a commercial break!

AFAIK, the LiveCDs don't offer everything I need and AFAICT the pre-built binary CDs don't come with the sources (which, I think, is a GPL violation if it's true, but hey..) Any pointers? Do the pre-built CDs come with sources? Is there a source-only distro? Thanks, rlc -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Actually, not really: I don't have a DVD reader. I don't actually need the entire portage tree, of course: just the bare minimum to have a working lyx would be nice already, and perhaps what's needed to get a run-of-the-mill system compiled. I'd actually be surprised of the stable versions of all software together would amount to 18 GB - there must be a lot of stale and experimental stuff in there, right? Anyways, what I need is a way to: * run pstools, ghost*, etc. * run TeTeX friends * run X * run either KDE or Gnome (I prefer the latter but I think KDE is more popular This would already require quite a bit of space, but I'd be surprised if it surpasses a gigabyte (i.e. Cygwin has all the tools I want and it, including source, fits on a CD (though barely). Most Linux distro's sources fit on three or four CDs - I don't see why Gentoo shouldn't..? Thanks anyway, rlc NB: if there's anyone in Paris on this list that would be willing to provide me with a CD-set with freshly-burned sources (for a reasonable fee, of course) please mail me privately! thx -- Usage: fortune -P [-f] -a [xsz] Q: file [rKe9] -v6[+] file1 ... :p -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
