<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml> section 25.1 applies for those with GRP... but those packages apply to a particular snapshot taken back in September and the portage tree has very likely changed by now if that's what you are using. Followed by: <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml> which tells you how to get X up and running and also how to get KDM and KDE going. You will encounter a little bugette which can be solved by reading the following: <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29223> now short of actually coming round and doing it for you, these should do the trick. Please make sure that you actually read all of the instructions Personally I would recommend that you install the whole shebang from scratch if you really want to use the GRP packages, then you can do an "emerge synch" to update your tree. For this you _WILL_ require CD1. Paul Cooke -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
