Hi - I've been trying to avoid wasting (your collective) time on what is
probably simple. I'm trying to install a kernel from the LiveCD only as the
computer I'm running does not have a functioning network card at present.
Everything went fine up until the point I wanted to "emerge gentoo-sources"
which of course attempts to connect to the gentoo site to download the
latest source.
Can anyone tell me the command to emerge a kernel from the distribution CD I
purchased. I think the package I need is
/mnt/cdrom/packages/All/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6.tbz2.
I looked at man pages but just can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks - Alan
