Here is the text for what I decided to do to build my machine. Make sure you have your etc/make.conf set with your arch, flags, use, etc and paste this in the terminal once the tarball is extracted cd /usr/portage scripts/bootstrap.sh emerge system ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime emerge -u ppp wvdial gentoo-sources gentoo sysklogd dcron reiserfsprogs mc links fluxbox rc-update add sysklogd default crontab /etc/crontab rc-update add dcron default rc-update add gpm default cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig This builds to the point of compiling the kernel, then I moved it. make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot I didn't bother to reboot, but continued with this in one long line to install stuff: env ALSA_CARDS='emu10k1' emerge -u alsa-driver audacity bash-completion cdrdao cracklib cvs diald cdrdao cracklib cvs diald dcron eboard eject enlightenment epm eterm evolution falconseye feh fetchmail firebird flightgear fluxbox galeon gaming-sources gentoo gentoolkit gkrellm gkrellm-plugins gnome gtkhtml gplflash hotplug howto-html iptables kde lame links LinNeighborhood mc mplayer multi-gnome-terminal mutt netscape-navigator netscape-flash netscape-plugger normalize ntp nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel ppp prelink procmail qmail quota realplayer reiserfsprogs rox sox snd sysklogd tcsh tcpdump ut2003-demo wvdial xboard xcdroast xfree-drm xinetd xmms xmms-themes xmovie xscreensaver zgv It broke at snd and I just continued with the stuff past that and it installed ok. This took between 4 and 5 days of box time (it would have been faster attended) to build it and I rebooted and there it all was except for snd which is still broken. -- Phil Our 2nd CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/naomisfancy Naomi's Fancy performances: http://naomisfancy.virtualave.net/schedule.html -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
