2 CD-version Gentoo 1.4 ==================
During OS installation I encountered difficulty in installing ;
1) # emerge -k kde
2) # emerge -k xfree
The download time was quick (I have a 3MB broadband connection, single user) but installation each took more than 2 hours respectively without completion compelling me to reboot the PC with Crtl+Alt+Del. I found their packages on CD2 and have them copied to /usr/portage/packages/ALL/ Kindly advise where will be the preferable folder/directory to install
1) KDE. They have many packages such as
kde-3.1.2.tbz2
kde-env-3-r2.tbz2
kdeaddons-3.1.2.tbz2
etc.
On RH I found it installed on /root/.kde /home/user/.kde
Kindly advise whether there is a solution to install all of them simultaneously and collectively. If YES then HOW. Which packages are essential to run KDE
Is there a way to shorten the installation time on net-installation i.e. with '# emerge -k kde'
2) Xfree Where will be an ideal folder/directory to untar it. Is it;
# tar -jxvf /usr/portage/packages/All/package.tbz2 -C /usr/local/ ???
Is there a way to shorten the installation time on net-installation i.e. with '# emerge -k xfree'
Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
