Tony Well, after days of painstaking work, I've got Gento install. BUT, it's installed with the -i686 option and not the -k7 option. This is because in the end, I installed Gentoo with the December edition of the Linux Format Magazine! :) Gnome, FireFox, Thunderbird, gnupg, CUPS and a few other packages are installed on the box. I've done the following:
emerge --sync emerge portage emerge --update --deep world Prior to doing any of this, I tried installing kde on my system but it fell over on the pmount install and aborted (so that was the reason for running the --sync & --update commands). Since I've done the emerge --sync & emerge portage commands, I cannot install KDE onto my system at home. It's saying that the kde/kde-env is blocking the kdelibs installation. How do I get around this issue? I've tried unemerge kde but this does work either. Also, one of the things that I would like to do is go back and recompile my system with the -k7 option (as I have an AMD Sempron processor). Is this an easy task to do?

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k7 -fomit-frame-pointer" You want the i686 image. For KDE, set these USE-flags: kde qt3 Unset: qt4 gtk gnome > Also, I would like the auto mount to work on my system (i.e. CD / > DVD / USB devices) so is there any special settings for this? You want the dbus & hal USE-flags. Once the big KDE emerge is done, add dbus & hal to the default runlevel: rc-update add dbus default rc-update add hald default > Thanks > Ben Regards, Tony V. _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
