[gentoo-user] Installing KDE 3.4.1

[Janne Vänttinen]

Is there any easier way to make Portage to install KDE 3.4.1 to a stable 
system than to add every single installed package to 
/etc/portage/package.keywords? I wouldn't mind to have the entire 
kde-base -category use test packages but I would like to keep the rest 
of the system on stable ground. So PACKAGE_KEYWORDS is not a good solution.


I tried to define packages with wildcards (like kde-base/* ~x86), with 
no luck. Is this possible?


Thanks beforehand,

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. Typo.

First unmask the top level package, example:

  echo kde-base/kdebase-meta ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords

Then just run this script, example:

  unmask.pl kdebase-meta

You might want to save a copy of package.keywords then compare the
two for sanity before emerging.


Thanks! This does it.


Have fun,

I will :)

[gentoo-user] Newbie problem with picture size

[Janne Vänttinen]

I just finished installing Gentoo to a laptop and I seem to have some 
kind of a problem. The picture during and after boot takes about quarter 
of the screen surface, in the middle. The effect is similar as when I 
booted the live-cd, except that in that case the picture expanded to a 
full screen right after the boot choice. What am I doing wrong?


Is this a kernel option problem? I did a stage1 installation and did not 
use genkernel, so this is the first thing that comes to mind, but I 
really don't know which options I should check. What else it could be, I 
 have no clue.


I have limited linux experience, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
