Thanks for the help, Stroller. But that command did not work so well. wget translated $foo to foo.txt instead of reading line line in foo.txt. I managed to get wget to fetch the files in foo.txt by running: cat foo.txt |xargs -- wget -c -nc -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ - also it would be a good idea to run # emerge -fpveDN world && emerge -fpvDN ...and so on because emerge -fpve{DN} world didn't quite world as thorough as I would have liked it to. Thank you all. Marz -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
