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?
First, update your portage tree (check one of my questions to the list):

Then get the distfiles:

The rest is piece of cake...
Good luck.
Thanks and more power to gentoo.org.
Amem.
