How to use the unofficial KNetStats .ebuild file in your Gento installation.


1. Create a directory where the overlay files will be stored, for example:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage


2. Edit your /etc/make.conf file:

# nano -w /etc/make.conf

   and put the following PORTDIR_OVERLAY setting in it:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage


3. Create the directory for KNetStats .ebuild file and download it:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-misc/knetstats
# cd !$
# wget http://ics.p.lodz.pl/~wiktorw/knetstats/knetstats-1.3.ebuild


4. Create the digest (portage internal information) for the package.
   BTW. It will also download the KNetStats source from the net:

# ebuild knetstats-1.3.ebuild digest


5. Install KNetStats:

# emerge -av knetstats


6. Run the program. It should be in the KDE menu, in the 'Internet' category.
   Configure the interfaces you would like to monitor and that's all.
   Good luck!
