Installing Gentoo 2004:2 and KDE

One of the nicest aspects of using Gentoo has been the wealth of documentation. Unfortunately I've not been able to find anything regarding installing and setting up kde.

I've installed Gentoo, and emerged kde (30 hours?)

Now I get errors when trying startx or startkde... What do I need to set up to get this working?

I'm a bit of a n00b but have been using suse for a year or so.

Did you run xorgconfig?

Maybe if you post the errors someone can help you

BYEZ

P.S. I think that 30 hrs are quite right for a huge application like KDE
