There are two options: |
21 |
|
22 |
1. Network the two machines (via Ethernet, FireWire...) and set up |
23 |
Internet Connection Sharing on XP. Tell the Gentoo box to use the XP |
24 |
box as its gateway and DNS server. Make sure both machines use the IP |
25 |
range 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0, the XP one being 192.168.0.1. |
26 |
|
27 |
2. Sneaker net--use emerge -fpu whatever 2> |
28 |
/mnt/removablemedia/download.txt, and then bring download.txt to Windows |
29 |
and use the Windows version of wget to get the files that you need. |
30 |
Then copy them over to the Gentoo box. |

I wrote a Wiki article on networkless installs. You might find that |
33 |
helpful. |
