further to this,
am making good headway, having revisited kernel compilation many a time..
ATI video driver ok (except boot frame still small?), onto other items now.

to do it from the precompiled packages, copy them to
/usr/portage/packages and do emerge -b =kde-3.2.1
This skips thru happily to "kde-base/kde-3.2.1 merged.  ...3 config 
files in /etc need updating"
I had, in haste, run "#emerge kde" on the day, with long compiling - a 
wrong/updated version = the result?

Perhaps this is why "#emerge -b =quanta" make fails on
"grep: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/libstdc++.la: No such 
file or directory"
& lots more lines "Error 1".. etc "died running emake, kde_src_compile:make"

if you want 3.2.2 just run emerge kde and it will download and compile
and install kde - be prepared for a wait! (both on downloading and
compiling)
main problem = there is no eth0 up yet  :-/
unless using LiveCD & chroot.
v.few items listed by lsmod
In either case, when you log in to X just choose kde from the login
manager.
Well, those ATI drivers still indicate no support for the RS200 4337 
board, & the XFConfig file running Gnome is SuSE's one (off the compiled 
kernel drivers, I asssume)

no login manager yet - straight to Gnome each time.
