Maybe I missed the news about gentoo being and > offline-instalable :X Rich isn't talking about the installation, which should not change; it's just a hypothetical thought. But you can deduce it anyway: For the installation, "networking support should be a default". If you don't want networking support, you're on your own to find methods that allow you to offline installations and implement them; the way the Portage tree works is that you will need all the distfiles in place to be able to do an offline installatation, that can be tricky. The stage4 method mentioned in another reply is one possible approach. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/=aYLwkrrZcpRGUr8RRzN0FE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJReWakAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9z1UH/0u9Scw4m16qFizdogBLH42K u2iSCB2T6OL1bL1soGgSeMQENVaHT0eBD7a6Rs8GdeVjgVYrCZmSTughIm+U8ix1 O2Q9XB/iHT+KhL1Ehg0ExlzOpKx2tesxP1gDrsFgvZ1yuOlibQv9M6xxykwOapaF NL6Pqm/vwhhhfKR6yuE+HBjXti6M34Fpl6edybNFGuw56NKXWCvqO/ZLS3eUK4qu wgnn1dP466bTlNVu4mo6msgIVTJ/qq83kqsmPphPq03SW9zx9E1Sh0O7czUjtIle wdh69URZwEl7ntuT7WxCYW1Ff8I2LsMG2nwKiDQIlpj0kM+wsWb5YyyDV/cfdGw= =B45B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/=aYLwkrrZcpRGUr8RRzN0FE--
