Hi, I'm new to Gentoo and this list. I think I like Gentoo :-) Right now, I'm in the process of installing kde on my old laptop, a 266MHz Dell Latitude from stage 1 (I started on Sunday afternoon, - this is definitely not a distro for the impatient). I probably did a stupid thing as I had just finished ch. 24 in the install-doc, and was looking in the wrong place as I wrote
emerge -k kde before I had rebooted the system. Oh well ... I just kept it going since it seemed to be doing fine anyway, but after a while I got this uneasy feeling when this error message started popping up: QSettings: error creating /root/.qt I decided to interrupt the process, and hit Ctrl-C. After that I did an etc-update, and umounted. When I removed the CD and tried the reboot command, a lot of error messages started rolling, seeming to indicate that the system still was looking for the CD. I just hit the power switch. The system came up again quite nicely, and the network connection was there. So I went on with the Desktop Configuration Guide, following the instructions closely. However, as I am now in the "emerge kde" stage, the same QSettings error message continues to appear. Should I start all over again, or is this something that may be resolved later? regards, -- Leif Biberg Kristensen - http://solumslekt.org/ Validare necesse est. mail to leifbk at online dot no -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
