Then handbook part you are referring to means the packages from the packages |
| 14 |
iso. The correct command would be emerge --usepkg kde-meta (to use the |
| 15 |
binaries off the packages.iso). portage takes care of the dependencies of |
| 16 |
packages automatically, so it will install xorg-x11 before anything that |
| 17 |
needs it like kde. |

If you haven't done a networkless install (stage3, snapshot, packages.iso, no |
| 20 |
emerge --sync) it works the same way except it downloads and compiles things. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So in short: no need for a special order, since portage/emerge takes care of |
| 23 |
the dependencies for you. |
