Charles, I'm glad that you now have networking. That's pretty crucial stuff. I want to clarify one thing here. You are now fully booting this new machine using Gentoo, correct? Grub is installed and you're booted up to the command line. You have xorg-x11 emerged correctly and are now attempting to get kde installed? My guess, and it's only a guess, is that you're having some sort of profile problem. do not build kde first, as much as you might like to. If you stay at the command line and do emerge sync (note - not 'emerge --sync') emerge -pv world then what is it telling you about what's installed on your machine and what you need to update? Post the results back, or just work your way through the emerge world operation BEFORE emerging kde. That's pretty important as you will likely update your profile and emerge a number of packages that kde will require anyway. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
