Another (ultra-roundabout) way: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* Get portage-latest.tar.xz |
| 23 |
* Untar to your standalone system |
| 24 |
* emerge -puf @world |
| 25 |
* Get the files on an Internet-connected system |
| 26 |
* Put the files on the standalone's portage DISTDIR |
| 27 |
* emerge -au @world |
