230848 2004-04-21 05:43:00 Is this a HD-Install??

If so, then you'd need to use Apt.

IIRC you run:
apt-get update world

If its not an HD-Install (Live off the CD) then dont bother, it wont work.


Chill.

Spot the gentoo user :-).

Try:

apt-get update (to update the lists)
apt-get upgrade (to download+install available updates)

That assumes apt-get is configured by the installer. I have no idea if it does.
