Hi,

I am working through installing 1.4RC4 . Mostly going well. Have twm
basic X and spent the day (partially) emerging kde.

After about 8hrs of chugging away it dropped out because
libsdl-1.2.5-r1 was missing.

It tried to download but because the system is not setup yet there's
no internet. (In any case my dial up its not possible apart from the
odd file , that's why I am using a LiveCD.)

Assuming this is just an odd file where do I need to put the files so
it can continue?

I will find them on another CD or download with my win98 installation
that I am using now.

I have already tried to do this with wvdial but apparently am missing
something about how and where portage and ebuild functions.

I expect to get a tarball *.tbz2 , untar it somewhere and restart
emerge kde.

Does that make sence? Where is the somewhere in question?

Thanks for any advice.
