I have worked my way through the installation of Gentoo 2008.0 from
the LiveCD (amd64), running into several wrinkles along the way, and
eventually overcoming most of them. I plan to document the process at
another time.

Hello,
As I seem to have a natural ability to not find the best
/(most accurate) information regarding video cards and drivers,
I thought I'd ask here.
I just inherited a new friend (with a gentoo) system
that has this entry in the make.conf file:

Greetings,
I have recently tasted the superior spelling correction of hunspell,
and don't ever want to see aspell on my system again.
To that end, I have globally disabled the spell flag. However, kdelibs
still seems to depend on aspell, even though I have disabled the flag
and even rebuild kdeli

Assuming your system is PAM-enabled, you can set the limits by editing
"/etc/security/limits.conf".
The new limits will not affect sessions which are already started. In
other words you need to log off/on for the new settings to take effect.
More info: man(5) limits.conf
That works, bu

Hi all,
I'm trying to get emerge world to complete after a recent --sync.
However, I get a series of error messages related to preserver libs and I'm
told to use this command:
emerge @preserved-rebuild
to resolve the problem. Repeated use of that command doesn't seem to help.
What do I need
