[gentoo-user] 2005.1 Universal CD install

[vikram ranade]

Hello all,
I am very new to gentoo (used to use Red Hat earlier)
I have installed gentoo using the networkless install with the 2005.1 universal CD.
I have got the system booting perfectly and detecting all the hardware as well.
I got the network connection working and now I am running
#emerge --update --deep world
 to get the latest version of the system.

My question is ..
Is X already installed? (the system boots to a text login)
how do i start X?
How do I install new software ? (gnome and so on)

Thanks!
Best regards,
Vikram
