I did an 'emerge -u world' only last week, so have approx 1+Gbytes of reasonably fresh souce files on my machine. You are welcome to access them either as the primary d/l source or to cut a couple of CDs. With all those free Gigs on the disk I expect the former. Bring a network cable and copy them to /usr/portage/distfiles . > On Tue, 11 Feb 2003 16:13:13 +0000 > > Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would really appreciate it if someone help set up gentoo on my > > computer.

There is 45 gigs of unpartitioned space on my linux harddrive. emergeing kde-base, & therefore XFree86, will take several hours even on that fast machine. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
