Yes. The stage are just tarballs, download them once, copy to the new location and unpack. Same with the portage snapshots. Same with the distfiles. they are just files, copy them to where they need to be and use them, or let emerge find them. Read the install docs first and learn more about how Linux works on the command line. Pretty soon you'll find the bits where the manual says "download such-and-such from this place" and you'll spot that if you already have the downloadable file you can just use it already. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
