It seems that many many people are having the same problem. I hate to suggest it but maybe there might be some worth in writing a version of emerge that will run on other distros or OS's like window$ - just for the ability to emerge the distfiles to a drive or CDR and bring them home for installation on gentoo. Maybe emerge could be moded to produce a formatted list of packages which could be saved and then run a properly designed perl script on the list to FTP the files to a location of your choice. This would really help the many of us who can download at work but not at home. Just a thought. Any takers for adding the functionality to emerge? Take care, Matt.
