Hi All,

I am trying to install a minimal gentoo on an IBM Thinkpad 760XL.

The laptop has 1.6G free space on ROOT partition. Currently I am 
bootstrapping the system.

I want a minimal system to do some C++ development. I need GCC, make, 
CVS, shells.

I also need minimal KDE.

What should be my next steps after BOOTSTRAPPING?


and installing a kernel and the other things in the installation guide?

emerge -uv kde

and I belive you should have everything you asked for. KDE takes a lot 
of space though, you would probably have to clean out 
/usr/portage/distfiles and maybe /var/tmp/portage from time to time.

Thanks,
I will look at the emerge option "-v".  When should I clean the 
"/usr/portage/distfiles" and how?

I plan to use gentoo-sources for kernel. Can I clean source files for 
the kernel after kernel installation?

Also before "emerge -uv kde", I have to emerge xfree too, right? Is 
there a way to reduce the space requirement
for xfree? I know the graphics chip of the thinkpad 760XL, it is  
Trident CYBER9385.

Regards
