Well, it's a bit of a pain, but you can grab a portage snapshot from the mirrors and throw it in place on your home pc, get a list of the files you need to fetch, go back out to town, grab the packages, and then take those home to install. A couple handy commands... On Gentoo: emerge --fetchonly --pretend <other options and package atoms> 2> download.lst On an internet connected system (even doable on Windows with a ported copy of wget): wget -c -nc -i download.lst -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
