Hi,
I'm curious how portage solves its most difficult part (in my eyes).
When installing a dynamic library (by hand) I have often got an

How does portage succeed anyway.
(I have the suspicion that it does not succeed always, since

No, not at all, you conclude wrongly.
Unix works the way it does precisely so you *don't* require a reboot to use
new libraries.

I will install Gentoo Linux on a Dell laptop with Intel Core2 Dua and

x86_64?

Hi,
you need the amd64 LiveCD.
Well, if you wantto install a 64bit env. then you have to use the AMD64
livecd. IA64 isn't the 64bit architecture :-)

Is evdev complied into your kernel? It should be.
