 |
|
hi, I'm having some troubles getting gentoo to get online (but that's another story), so obviously I've had some trouble trying to use emerge. Thus, so far everything I've done I've had to download from my windows partition, burn it, and use it that way. My question is, if I've already done | Code: | | emerge --usepkg gnome |
do I still have to | Code: | | emerge gnome xscreensaver |
, and if so, could someone point me in the direction where I would be able to download something so that I can emerge xscreensaver off a disk instead of having to sign online for it? Is it possible its located in the packages cd? |

as you allready emerged gnome (by using the package) you don't need to emerge gnome again (which would download the source and compile it). And xscreensaver should be included in the package CD, just try | Code: | | emerge --usepkgonly xscreensaver |

great, that got me into gnome, but on the instructions for setting it up I was told to | Code: | /etc/init.d/hald start
rc-update add hald default
/etc/init.d/mDNSResponder start
rc-update add mDNSResponder default |
it says not found or whatever for all of those. THe famd worked fine, but I had already set that up when I set up xwindows
Is this a problem or should I just ignore it? |

hmm hald means the Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon, and you can emerge it by typing
as for mDNSResponder, I hope someone else can answer your question, because I wouldn't know the package it comes with

For having mDNSResponder you have to emerge howl.
Have you got howl and hal in your use variable (look at the output of emerge info)?
I think both hal and howl should be dependencies of gnome if these useflags are enabled. If these two are not enabled, then you should probably set them in /etc/make.conf and reemerge affected packages with
| Code: | | emerge --newuse gnome |
to make full use of hal and howl services. to first check what you would have to reemerge add the -p option to the above emerge command.
