Add the following line to /etc/make.conf:

make that directory:
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage
download the tar/bzipped file called "quasar portage overlay" from the
bug page - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83679
unzip/tar the file so that it ends up with the ebuild having this path:
/usr/local/portage/app-office/quasar/quasar-1.4.5.ebuild
(I find it easier to do this in a gui like midnight commander)
You should then be able to emerge quasar.
Thanks, it works. At least the download. It will take a few hours to
download as I am downloading KNOPPIX as well. (Last week I spent three
days downloading 3.8.2 only to discover now that 3.9 is out).
Has anyone tried to use Looking Glass? I found an article on
gentoo-wiki.com but it is out of date and does not work for me. I also
did not find anything on bugs.gentoo.org.
