I think that a better option may be to decide which software I want, |
28 |
and use emerge -ef <package> on each of the big packages to get just |
29 |
what I need. Maybe setting up a stage three install, with just the |
30 |
kernel, boot loader, and portage and using 'emerge -ef world' first |
31 |
might have the desired effect as far as getting the base system first. |
32 |

That would also let me make sure that I have an up to date portage tree, |
36 |
and just the files I need and maybe a few more. ^^;; |

Does that sound better, and less likely to piss off the mirrors? :P |
