I sort of just did a networkless install on my desktop. I only have |
2 |
very slow dialup at home, but access to wifi once mobile. My netbook |
3 |
is fairly up-to-date so I used it to download the latest install-iso, |
4 |
stage3, portage-latest. These I installed on the desktop then copied |
5 |
over all the distfiles on the netbook to the desktop. Now when I want |
6 |
to emerge something, the latest tarball is already waiting. |

But, of course, you're gonna have the have some sort of web access. |
