Finally got gentoo to dual boot. now going on to xfree and kde. i already emerged xfree, now emerging kde as i read it might take up to 9 hours to emerge. what do i need to edit on /etc/make.conf to make sure kde work, and how would i set it up that kde would start automatically when i start my computer to login.
2nd. running into network cannot be reach, after installation. from live cd it network to the internet works fine.
last i would be installing gentoo for a friend of mine. he does not want the gentookernel.............can someone tell me how to download the latest kernel. emerge what? then i can take it from there.
Thanks guys. you guys are the greatest. |

No gentoo-dev-sources? The vanilla version of 2.6.x is called development-sources. |

see here http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml+
you need "X kde qt" at least
in the rc.conf you have to uncomment line where there is DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" and replace xdm by kdm
then do a | Code: | | #rc-update add xdm default |

did you edit your /etc/conf.d/net correctly?
did you do a | Code: | | #rc-update add net.eth0 default |
as the manual says.

you just have to emerge *-sources and replace * by what you want!
do a emerge -s sources to see available sources (after an emerge sync to be up to date)
for example emerge gentoo-sources => kernel 2.4
You're welcome

also do first:
| Code: | | emerge -pv <ebuild name here> |
This will do a p (pretend) so you can see what packages will install first. And v (use flags) so you can see all the use flags that will affect these ebuilds. You can then customize your USE settings in make.conf to suit your needs.
