Now pay close attention! Your Portage snapshot is in place and the GRP packages
260
are ready to be used. However, Portage doesn't automagically use them unless you
261
tell it to. Luckily, this is hardly difficult: every time you are asked to
262
install a package using <c>emerge</c>, you must add <c>--usepkg</c> as an
263
option:

First of all, you need to edit <path>/etc/make.conf</path> and define
306
the <c>PORTAGE_BINHOST</c> variable so that it points to the server from which
307
you want to download the GRP packages. Please check our <uri
308
link="/main/en/mirrors.xml">mirror list</uri> for the available mirrors.

Save and exit (by pressing Ctrl-X and confirming). With this in place, you must
321
now pay close attention. Portage will not automagically download the GRP
322
packages if you don't instruct it to. However, this isn't hard: every time you
323
are asked to install a package using <c>emerge</c>, you must add
324
<c>--getbinpkg</c> as an option:
325
</p>
326
327
<p>

Now install the packages you want. CD-2 contains several prebuilt binaries, for
329
instance KDE:

<p>
337
The <c>USE="bindist"</c> is needed when you install XFree (either directly or as
338
a dependency). It prevents the downloading of Microsoft's core fonts (which we
339
cannot distribute on our LiveCDs).
