Is it just me? On a new install I always still to an emerge -e @world
once I get to a working text based boot and I've done any modification
to make.conf as I don't really know how the compiler or tool set was
built. Just paranoid.
I used to do it twice before I started installing apps or desktops but
I've cut back. :-)

That's worthwhile, it goes real quick once gcc and glibc are built. Plus
(until recently at least) the published stages always had an out of date gcc
on them.
I used to do it twice before I started installing apps or desktops but

Twice is pointless :-)
gcc rebuilds itself twice to ensure that the binary is built with the same
version as the result, and verifies that the last two are bit-wise identical.
Then building the toolchain, then building the rest of world gives you exactly
what you hope to get from doing it twice.

[gentoo-user] emerge -avt xfce4-meta; haven't got startxfce4. Help, please!
Hi, Gentoo, The Subject: just about says it all; following the instructions in The Xfce Configuration Guide, I did # emerge -avt xfce4-meta followed by $ echo exec startxfce4 ~/.xinitrc followed by $ startx. The X-server complained about not finding startxfce4. A quick find command, find / -name startxfce4 (and I do mean quick - it took only half a second :-) demonstrated a complete absence of a file with that name. Help, please! What do I need to do to get xfce running? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
