-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all :-)
Well after a fairly late night I managed to get gentoo installed by booting with gentoo 1.2 and swapping the cd out for gentoo 1.4 afterwards for the stage3 tarball (many thanks for suggesting that approach Gwendolyn and for the people who provided me with links to the gentoo 1.2 download area!). After recompiling my kernel a few times (ACPI caused the boot to hang the first kernel, and I forgot to compile in devfs on the second :-( ), I managed to get it to boot up. However my grub is not 'playing nice'. When I boot, I get no splash screen / menu and I have to manually type kernel /boot/bzImage boot Is there something obvious I am missing here? Also, I would like to install kde3.1. I tried: emerge kde3.1 (didnt work) then emerge kde3 (also didnt work) What am I doing wrong? Lastly I would like to know if XFree86 4.3 is available for gentoo as an emerge package? Forgive me if my terminology is a bit squiff in places above - I am still a Gentoo neophyte :-) Many thanks - -- Tim Sutton BDWorld Middleware Programmer - ------------------------------------------------------------------- BiodiversityWorld Project Centre for Plant Diversity & Systematics School of Plant Sciences The University of Reading Reading, RG66AS, UK Web : www.bdworld.org Phone : +44-(0)118-378-6052 Email : t.sutton [at] reading.ac.uk (email preferred method of correspondence) - ------------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+ZzeTZxb+GYjbYHkRAnt/AKCAXDXV36GzeIMKv0tZBOgC0qjqSwCgsCPM H6fJhfF9V0vU6Txg8/dw1XM= =L43+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
