There are networkless install handbooks availible. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml See the last link in step 2. I agree with the last poster, gentoo will be pretty difficult to maintain without a network connection, on the otherhand it will be pretty secure ;) Basically I would recommend downloading the proper distfiles from the mirrors and then putting them in /usr/portage/distfiles and you will be all set. - -- Jeremy Olexa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office: EE/CS 1-201 CS/IT Systems Staff University of Minnesota -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEutslFN7pD9kMi/URAqLxAJwIWuVUWEeTDgV4XiNONHZZFlfG5gCdFvsh m7n6tPLKtyai2nEakQ+XxOQ= =sSrz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list
