Yep, that is what I thought to but it fails. When I issue
'emerge -vN kde-meta'
I get a long list (as expected) follow by many of these error
messages:
!!! Error: circular dependencies:
('ebuild', '/', 'media-gfx/graphviz-2.12', 'merge') depends on
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-lang/swig-1.3.31', 'merge') (hard)

('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r2', 'merge') depends on
('ebuild', '/', 'app-doc/doxygen-1.5.2', 'merge') (hard)
...
snip
But 'emerge -vN xorg-server' is working. After that I see
if kde-meta will work.
thanks for the help,
James

I did change flags so that might be the cause of the circular dependencies. thanks Neil, it been since 2005 since I had to perform a handbook install liveCD 2006 worked just fine, maybe I'll give 2007.0's live CD a whirl, again, as I have 2 more laptops and several servers to install. Gentoo is very popular where I work. If we could only get the semiconductor manufactures and the companies that develop software development tools for firmware development to embrace linux, at a faster pace, life would be sweet. Thanks!

Hello James, Yep, that is what I thought to but it fails. When I issue 'emerge -vN kde-meta' I get a long list (as expected) follow by many of these error messages: !!! Error: circular dependencies: That's usually because you've changed your USE flags substantially from the default for the stage 3 install. Do an emerge -uavDN world to sort things out. You don't need -N when emerging a package for the first time, there are no existing USE flags to change. -- Neil Bothwick Windows 98 took us to the edge of the cliff.

Neil Bothwick neil at digimed.co.uk writes: emerge xorg-x11 That's a meta-package, you only need to install xorg-server. This is not pulled in by KDE because a local X server is not a requirement to run KDE, although KDE does depend on several X11 libraries. Hmm, nice to know.

Samir Faci samir.list at gmail.com writes: if you've just completed a proper install from the handbook (presuming a bootable system, with bootloader, cron/syslog, etc). you really don't need to do a system.kde-meta (iirc should pull xorg as a dependency, so all you'd need is kde-meta and the world update, but you'd still need to add whatever software your user would use). Got it. One more question. I remember some time ago somebody had a slick script or method to compile the apps listed in the world file, from an existing system to the new system, all together at once, rather that typing in all of those app names into one giant emerge command. I cannot seem to find that thread, via gmane. Anyone remember that discussion and the resulting conclusion (which I thought I save but cannot find in my files either) ? or maybe the best method is: emerge list of apps named in another systems world file or just scp over a copy of the world file and issue: emerge -uvDN world revdep-rebuilduntil no errors? ??? recommndations on automating this final-step, on a new installation, are most welcome.
