Non-internet

Post by Drunkn_Munky »

I think it would be cool if you had support for people without the internet on their xbox (like me :)). Because I wanna install ICEWM but I can't because I don't have a connection on my xbox. Is there a way I can download it on my pc and put it on CD?

Yes. Download the *.b0x files from here, if you know what you're doing.

If you want ICE-WM
first go to your xbox and type

Code: Select all

emerge -pv icewm
make a note of the packages you need and the version numbers
go to your PC and go to your favourite gentoo download mirror, the list is here download all the packages you need and burn them to a CD
Put the CD in to your xbox and copy all the packages to /usr/portage/distfiles/
then you should be able to emerge icewm
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?
