yes this should work
With the old FETCHCOMMAND syntax, the probably easiest way would have
been to replace it to:
FETCHCOMMAND="echo \${x} >> filesToDownload"
then start
emerge --fetchonly packagesFromInstallManual gnome mozilla whateverYouWant
the use this file with wget:
wget -i filesToDownload
and put all this files into /usr/portage/distfiles
this should work
Unfortunately I don't know the new syntax for FETCHCOMMAND.
if somebody could help here...
