I cannot really tell much from the screenshot because I can only see a part of it but it seems to emerge some libs. Depending on your cpu and ram compiling certain packages does take quite some time.

Is your HD crunching from time to time or is it standing still?


I hope you are aware that gentoo is a "build from source" distro, which means that you compile all your software on your box instead of using binaries. And this definately takes its time! :wink:

The graphical installer is wonky. The way you are progressing now is the better way of installing Gentoo.
