Well I'm out right now syncing up portage.
Ok so I specified "emerge -k ppp" and this grabbed the local package that I copied off
the cd.
But when I did a "emerge -k mozilla" it tried to go out to the internet??
How do you tell emerge to grab a package locally? I did man emerge and the -k option
looked to be
about the only thing that I could of done...I think maybe I need to read the Portage
Manual.
Hopefully this will explain Portage in depth.
Right now I'm out on the net with PPP dialup.. Whoo-hoooo :D
Following the "Portage Users Guide" I did a "emerge sync". Is there anything else that
I should do
after that? I don't understand what "emerge -u world" is suppose to do for me.
Right after the "emerge sync" finished this is what it said at the very end:
** Skipping packages. Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the
tbz2's in the packages directory. Note: This can take a very long time.
* An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended
* that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated.
* Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files.
OK...So what exactly do I need to do here?
emerge -up system and emerge -u system ?????
Then how do I go about updating my config files???
Thanks,
JBanks
