 |
|
Hey guys,
I finally got my base system more or less working. I've got some more questions though:
I used the 2005.1 universal CD (general x86) and genkernel to get my first working gentoo on a Pentium II
Questions
1) After boot the wrong module for my networkcard (realtek) is loaded (8139cp instead of 8139too). So now I unload it manually using and then load the right one with
Is there a way so that my Gentoo chooses the right module from the start?
2) When I'm installing the GRP packages, once and a while some special message pauses the | Code: | | emerge --usepkg packageX |
process giving some important instructions.
How can I read these instructions after the emerge process has finished?
I tried with shift+PgUp keycombination, but it doesn't recall enough lines
3) Minor: I added | Code: | | vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1024x768-32@75 |
options in my | Code: | | /boot/grub/grub.conf |
,
but at boot it says this option is not available.
I've got a Nvidia Riva 128 videocard and a 19inch monitor (sigma).
How can I find the correct thing to add to my kernel line in grub.conf?
4) I wanna use enlightenment as windowmanager, so I already emerged it from my package cd.
Does anyone has any suggestions which packages I also should emerge, this is of course before I update my portage from the internet?
Should you need more information from, please feel free to ask me.
Thx in advance for your replies!

Insert "8139too" as the last line into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

You can't unless you set PORT_LOGDIR in make.conf to some directory, and create the directory.
| Code: | # echo PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage >> /etc/make.conf
# mkdir /var/log/portage |
This enables portage to store all the messages from emerge into log files in this directory. However, information from previous emerges before you enable this option is forever lost. |

So if I un-emerge enlightenment,
set de port_logdir and
then re-emerge enlightenment, ....
I might be able to capture those instructions after all 
I also have another question,
should I emerge first X11 before I emerge enlightenment?

No. xorg-x11 is a dependency of enlightenment, and hence xorg will be installed automatically when you install enlightenment, if it has not been installed yet. |
