|

It's been going on for about 10+ hours so far (from vanilla system, the first thing i did was "emerge kde")
I've got a K6-II 450 and 256MB ram.

Assuming "emerge kde" was the first things you typed (or close to it), it's probably going to take quite a while. If you haven't changed your USE variable and it still has it's default settings there are many other things that are going to be pulled in. Many, many things. |

I think I've just discovered the same problem. What are all these use variables? Is there some docuumentation I've missed that will enable me to decide what is really necessary. I've got a base system running today after two overnight runs, then I emerged Apache, PHP and MySQL which seems to have required a lot of X that I'm sure isn't needed for a lightweight webserver. |

hopefully this forum will serve as a documentation base by itself.
i still don't know how to use the USE flag although with enough snooping and investigation, i'll find out. |

Took my box a hair under 24 hours to compile KDE (2.2.2), I suspect kde 3 won't be much diffrent.
after completing the gentoo install the very first thing I did after reboot was "emerge kde" so it had to compile/install X as well.
Before the build was available I compiled and installed all the kde 3 BETA RC1 packages by hand, that took a full weekend. Mainly because it was not automatic. It's pretty nice.
The box is as follows
P2-400
128MB RAM
8.4GB hard drive
other less important devices (CD-ROM, floppy) when guaging overall speed. |

I didn't time it... started it about 2 hours prior to going to bed, when I woke up it was all compiled/installed, so less than 10 hours (Pentium IV 1.8 ghz). |

i wonder if there's *any* way for the emerge feature to have a constantly updated (rough) ETA by looking at your processor speed and memory...
hmm... perhaps a possible feature? |

The merge time can be easily measured this way:
Code: | # date >> comptime; emerge whatever; date >> comptime
# cat comptime |

what i was thinking was that users can figure out how long it would take for an emerge command *before* they go along and do it...
kopete took longer than i expected to emerge |

What do the results of "time emerge whatever" mean. You get
real blah
user blah
sys blah
What does each of these represent.
Thanks,

"real" is wall clock time. It's the one you're usually interested in. (By "wall clock" I mean the same kind of time you go to lunch by. If it took an hour, it will say 60m0.000s (60 minutes 0.000 seconds). (That's if it took exactly an hour.
"user" is CPU time spent in the "user" state (i.e., not in the kernel).
"sys" is CPU time spent in the kernel.
The names are slightly misleading: "user" is not your time and "sys" the system's time -- all processes use both kinds.
A typical example of system time would be copying a file -- only the kernel is allowed to play with real hardware, so a significant fraction of the time in something like "cp a /tmp/a" is spent in kernel mode, doing the I/O. This will show up as a small amount of "user" time, and a large amount of "sys" time. |

I think that's what he meant.
So emerge kde will go for X too, eh? Cool. About the USE var, what to do? _________________ Gentoo and Doom III. 'Nuff Said.

Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2002 4:25 am Post subject: not more than ~12hrs for KDE, but worth it |
|
|
I got used to gnome on debian -- I had no idea what the K guys were doing. But the gnome install (after about 10 hours of X compile) was too fast, so I hit KDE as well.
After some broken dependencies and a rebuild of KDEBase (because I'm an idiot), I got KDE up and running.
It's absolutely stunning. I'm blown away. Gentoo + KDE is the best system I've ever seen. AC/D |
