Hey,
anyways I want to try gentoo after trying Fedora Core 2 but I would like to know what do I need to enable in the kernel for my 2nics to work I have a Asus A7N8X-E and sound too 
Also can you reccomend a good CFLAGS for my Athlon XP 3200+ and what USE flags should I use (I like KDE and Fluxbox BTW)
Luv

You'd just need to include the drivers for your two NICs in the kernel so that
they both work.
As for CFLAGS, I prefer conservative flags personally, but there's loads of
information in other threads about it. Same with USE flags -- you can
always set them as you go -- use emerge -pv before you install something
to see which USE flags is looks for and disable any you don't need.

I think your board has the nforce and 3com integrated NICs right? You'll need the following enabled in your kernel
| Code: | [*] 3COM cards
<*> 3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support (NEW)
<*> Reverse Engineered nForce Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL) |
Keep your CFLAGS simple until you know what you're doing:
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" |
For my USE flags, well, that's a bit more involved. Here is what I use
| Code: | | USE="-3dfx 3dnow X Xaw3d aalib -accessibility acl acpi -adabas -adns -afs aim alsa -altivec -apache2 -apm arts -atlas audiofile avi -bcmath berkdb -bidi -bindist -birdstep -bonobo -bootstrap -build -bzlib -calendar -canna -caps -cdb cdparanoia cdr -cjk -cpdflib crypt cscope -ctype cups curl -curlwrappers -db2 -dba -dbase -dbmaker -dbx -debug -dedicated dga dio directfb -divx4linux doc -dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emacs emacs-w3 -empress -empress-bcs encode -esd -esoob -ethereal -ev6 -evo exif fam fastcgi fbcon -fdftk -fftw -filepro -firebird -flac flash -flatfile foomaticdb freetds -freewnn -frontbase ftp gb gd -gd-external -gdbm -ggi gif -ginac -gmp -gnome -gnutils gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile -hardened -hardenedphp -hyperwave-api -icc -icc-pgo -iconv icq -ifc imagemagick imap imlib -informix -ingres inifile innodb -interbase -iodbc ipv6 jabber -jack -java -jikes -joystick jpeg junit kde kerberos krb4 ladcca lcms ldap leim -lesstif -libedit libg++ libgda libwww -lirc -livecd mad maildir -mailwrapper -matrox -mbox -mcal -mcve -memlimit -mhash mikmod -ming -mmap mmx -mnogosearch motif -mozilla mpeg mpi -msession msn -msql mule -multilib -mysql -mysqli nas ncurses -netcdf network -nhc98 nls -nocardbus -nocd -oci8 -odbc -offensive oggvorbis opengl -oracle7 oscar oss -ovrimos pam -pcmcia -pcntl -pcre -pda pdflib perl -pfpro -php -pic -pie plotutils png pnp -posix -postgres ppds -prelude python -qdbm qt quicktime readline -recode ruby samba -sapdb sasl scanner sdl -selinux -session -shared -sharedmem -simplexml slang slp -snmp -soap -sockets -socks5 -solid -speex spell -spl -sqlite -sse ssl -static svg svga -sybase -sybase-ct -sysvpic -szip tcltk tcpd tetex -theora -tidy tiff -tokenizer truetype -trusted -uclibc usb -vhosts videos -voodoo4 -wavelan -wddx wmf wxwindows xface xinerama xml xml2 -xmlrpc xmms xosd -xsl xv xvid yahoo zeo zlib x86" |
I'm a KDE user myself. I also use lightweight window managers on occasion. I don't think there are any specific USE flags for window managers. I may be wrong. |

These are some of the kernel options that you want
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Networking support --->
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
<M> Reverse Engineered nForce Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)
Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
<M> Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx Support
Sound --->
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
PCI devices --->
<M> Intel i8x0/MX440, SiS 7012; Ali 5455; NForce Audio; AMD768/8111 |
My CFLAGS and USE flags are normally quite conservative, you can probably find better examples by searching the forums.
... oh, I almost forgot. Welcome to Gentoo |

This should get you the minimal KDE installation you are looking for.
If you want to see all the rest of the packages that are included with the "full" KDE installation, do this.
