Ok, I've heard everyone talk about Gentoo so I thought I try installing it. Well I got the base system loaded. I have the 2nd CD which contains all the tar files. If you don't want emerge to point to the net but point to a cd or hard drive how do you get it to do this. When I emerge -k xfree or whatever package it tries the ftp sites. Maybe when I get Gentoo working properly, I might like it. I've read thru the emerge manual and have tried some of the things it suggested but it still doesn't install the programs. I guess I'm familiar with Debian when I say get the sources from the CD it gets them CD. I'm a complete Newbie to Gentoo.
On a positive not I did get pon to work in root. I copied all the config files from Debian. I added myself to the group dialout but I know there is one more thing I had to do. I think it's chmod on the modem to add users read, write access. It's been a couple years since I've done this. I should taken more notes back then. I started to take notes recently and some of the commands I rarely use and it helps. I just pull up the notes file and there it is. I hope someone can help.
