I only have very slow dialup at home, but access to wifi once mobile. My netbook is fairly up-to-date so I used it to download the latest install-iso, stage3, portage-latest. These I installed on the desktop then copied over all the distfiles on the netbook to the desktop. Now when I want to emerge something, the latest tarball is already waiting. But, of course, you're gonna have the have some sort of web access. mw On 10/30/09, Daniel da Veiga wrote: > On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 14:48, Philip Webb wrote: >> 091030 Stroller wrote: >>> On 30 Oct 2009, at 02:41, Philip Webb wrote: >>>> I'm stuck in trying to install Gentoo on my new EeePC 1005HA . >>>> There seems to be no easily accessible driver for the Ethernet >>>> controller, >>>> which is 'Atheros AR8132' (shown via 'lspci'). >>> A very casual Google suggests >>> that this card uses the the atl1e kernel driver / module. =A0EG: >>> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=3Dubuntu/ubuntu-hardy-lum.git;a=3Dcommit= ;h=3D949e7063204f568027fa7783c8562ceb32b95a25 >>> says: Add support Atheros ...
