[gentoo-user] Make QEMU guest visible to other machines on LAN

Apologies if this is a duplicate/triplicate. I don't think the first attempts got through. Going through my backup provider (dialup) this time. I have QEMU installed on a 64-bit Gentoo machine. I'm now installing a 32-bit Gentoo guest. The "cdrom" (actually the minimal install ISO file)

I'm now at the configuring-the-kernel stage of the Gentoo guest install. I had originally expected to pull in the .config from the host machine, make a few tweaks, and get going. However, it appears that multiple video and sound and network cards are supported, none of which match those on the

I've successfully manually compiled Pale Moon (a Firefox fork), but it doesn't play h264 files. Apparently, I have to enable gstreamer for that. OK, I did it. This time the build fails with... configure:20206: checking for gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.25 gstreamer-app-0.10
