Hi I'm a 56k'er and i've managed to install Gentoo with the cd (I used level 3) My situation is this. i have double boot.. WinXp and Gentoo. With Gentoo i checked what packages I needed to install Wvdial and gentoo mentioned 3 packages...
ppp
wvdial
wvstreams
With Winxp I downloaded all the sources from their respective ftp sites. (And i checked the versions...) I place them in (gentoo) /usr/portage/dist-files/ (I think i remember it correctly)
and then i tried emerge wvdial but gentoo still tried to find it on the internet? Can somebody help me out here?
Best Regards, Berkz |

You can check 'man emerge' for more info. If I understand it correctly, 'emerge aalib-1.4rc4.tar.gz' should work. Try out that, or something similar. I've not actually tried it yet.

hmmm...
did you place it in /usr/portage/distfiles or ../dist-files? the extra dash could make a difference... Also the sources you are using are the same portage is attempting to download? Usually portage downloads *.tbz2 sources as opposed to *.tar.gz ... Or maybe u just have to rename the files so that they look like what they should???

Don't download them from the original FTP sites. Use a Gentoo mirror (list on www.gentoo.org) Gentoo packages are hashed with the md5 algorithm to ensure package integrity. Portage then checks the hash during install and, if it doesn't match (or isn't there) it fails. That's probably why your installation isn't working.

[EDIT] fixed typo.
