Hi,

I just finished the base installation from stage3/GRP.  Now I'm about
to install the Desktop stuff.  I want to use the binary packages from
the package CD. I just did

  # mount /mnt/cdrom
  # export PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom
  # emerge xorg-x11

which worked just fine.
BTW: Why didn't I have to use the '-k' resp. '-K' switch for 'emerge'?)
However, now I'd like to install a Windowmanager.  I did

  # emerge icewm

emerge stated that it would need to install 57 dependencies, then tried
to connect to the Inet, in order to download the stuff and aborts (as I
have no Inet connection).  Then I tried

  # emerge -k icewm

emerge states that it needs 38 dependencies and aborts (due to missing
Inet connection).  Then I tried

  # emerge -K icewm

emerge responds

   !!! There are no packages available to satisfy "icewm"
   !!! Either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuilt

So, how do I install this stuff?

Kind regards

   Nooby
