you sound as if you feel like i did a couple of weeks ago: it must be how women feel when they have babies (grin)! yes, if you have a reasonably fast machine & broadband, do a Stage 3 install & follow instructions, Gentoo is as easy as Mandrake. > is it possible to get CUPS running after an install > or do you have to do that during one? to get any daemon running, first emerge the package, then eg 'rc-update add cupsd default'; you can start it w/o rebooting by '/etc/init.d/cupsd start'. there's a good Gentoo printing doc. generally, Gentoo is easier to manage than binary distros, as it sets things up elegantly & leaves the user with real control: it tries to avoid making assumptions on the user's behalf. it's a good idea to browse thro' /etc to see how Gentoo does things. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
