How do I install KDE on this computer?
I heard its emerge kde, then again I heard its emerge kdebase...
I am using the x86 Package cd, and I can't connect to the internet yet so...

emerge kde.
(it will install all of the kde files, including kdebase)

When I try to install it (Next boot, no cd)
Do I just insert the cd and type emerge kde?
Or there other commands before I do that...

Once you reboot after the install is complete as outlined in the handbook, all you need to do to get kde is to login as root and "emerge kde".

This is what I did (Yeah, like you need someone elses opinion  )
Put the packages CD into your CDrom
| Code: |
mount /mnt/cdrom
ls /mnt/cdrom
export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom/"
emerge --usepkg kde
etc-update
emerge kdebase
etc-upate
startx
|
It did, however access the internet at the time.
Another way is, put the CD into your CDrom
| Code: |
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mkdir /usr/portage/packages
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/* /usr/portage/packages/
USE="bindist" emerge -k kde kdebase
startx
|
Once one of those works, perhaps you would like to boot straight to the graphical logon screen?
| Code: |
ls /etc/X11/Sessions
|
You will have two or three listed, I had Xsession and kde-3.2.2
| Code: |
nano -w /etc/rc.conf
|
Find and edit
XSESSION="kde-3.2.2"
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
Finish by adding xdm (no it is not a typo, I really typed xdm) to the default runlevel
| Code: |
rc-update add xdm default
|
reboot and bask in the glory of your own greatness. 
Hope this helps,
Jax |
