Thats what I'm trying. |

|
| 13 |
I have machines here at office with net connection. |
| 14 |
the only way I can get the ebuild to work is to havea functional |
| 15 |
portage directory. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I can tar up the current one on machine and copy to new install machine and do it that way. |
| 18 |
just copying the source and running emerge as you suggested won't help, since you need a net connection |
| 19 |
to emerge rsync to create a portage tree. |

|
| 21 |
I also don't have a CD writer to cut a CD with to transport from machine on net to machine at home. |
| 22 |
the only way is to download on net machine and remove hdd and take to home machine which I cannot do either because it's |
| 23 |
a functional server. I don't have machines I can switch off. |
| 24 |

I have asked in a mail to user list regarding the same problem if there is a way to compile the module for the driver |
| 26 |
on a machine for the liveCD as this would be smaller and more portable "32 MB usb drive" or something I can arrange. |
| 27 |
but would be so much easer to have a repostry of liveCD modules that are not on the CD. (tho personally I think the liveCD |
| 28 |
should have all possible modules included. |
| 29 |
|

I'll find a way to do this .. but it is a mission and a pain. |
