Use Gentoo's Packages CD
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2005 12:05 pm
Hi all,
I've a xbox running 24/7 Gentoox Pro, recently I upgraded my box to 128MB of ram, and I want to try KDE. So my question is:
Is it possible to use the "Package CD" from Gentoo.org to emerge precompiled KDE in Gentoox? (I don't really want to wait about 60hours.. of compilation..)
I saw in the official doc how to do that:
Will this work on Gentoox?
Thanks,

Code: Select all
(If there is a /mnt/cdrom/packages directory:)
# export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom/packages"
(Otherwise:)
# export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"
# emerge --usepkg kde
