Because you have emerge sync'd since the packages CD was built, your portage tree contains newer versions of many of the packages, so emerge tries to install those. As there is no package available for the newer versions, it tries to download the source and compile. You need to use --usepkgonly (-K), --usepkg (-k) means "use a package if one is available, otherwise build from source. If that doesn't work, use specific version numbers to ensure the version on the CD is installed emerge -Kav =3Dcate-gory/package-x.y.z-rN --=20 Neil Bothwick I am neither for nor against apathy. --Sig__RiI4H5L22+Pn3QUF3c75/B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDfGFIum4al0N1GQMRAiVfAJ4ksBMc9hcLy+wyADLehGO+CesAzACfafoY 6MzcmNDTfd+4xqqN6N1b6WE= =vD/Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig__RiI4H5L22+Pn3QUF3c75/B-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
