The stage are just tarballs, download them once, copy to the new |
| 15 |
location and unpack. |

Same with the portage snapshots. |
| 17 |
Same with the distfiles. |
| 18 |
they are just files, copy them to where they need to be and use them, or |
| 19 |
let emerge find them. |

Read the install docs first and learn more about how Linux works on the |
| 22 |
command line. Pretty soon you'll find the bits where the manual says |
| 23 |
"download such-and-such from this place" and you'll spot that if you |
| 24 |
already have the downloadable file you can just use it already. |
