For the record, the toolchain is the basic programs that need to be there to have a working box.

It's the back bone of your Gentoo installation. You have for exemple Gcc,Glibc, libtool and other stuff.

the message should continue with something like "package sys-dump/x is blocking package sys-apps/y"

Hi, can you post the actual error plz ?

Maybe you have the e2fsprog.

Sorry for the delay - I'm trying to figure out how to long into my newly set up partition - I went quickly through the part about setting up user accounts (left things as default) and cannot find the right combination of user/passord . I'll post the error in time.

..I think its because I didn't run 'passwd' - is this necessary? I don't think so; it should have no password if I don't run it (but I still can't log in with root and a blank password) ..

Well....I don't know what happens if you don't passwd. Generally that's why you go through the handbook step by step - it's quicker.

You keep saying that ... I did go through the entire book - I just decided which steps weren't necessary. From my experience with linux I didn't think passwd was necessary (says so on the man page I think)

I keep saying that because that's how people could avoid posting half the topics in this subforum - and not waste their own time (sometimes even giving up on gentoo).

And you have just proven me right (although saying "I told you so" gives me no pleasure....).

it took me 30 seconds to chroot and run passwd again - and I woudln't have learnt that passwd is required.

Good for you. The fact still is that you decided to skip something and wasted time because of it ;] (and I'm not gonna argue if 30s is a lot of time - it does not matter, what does matter is that people should follow the handbook, period)

OK - I have xorg-x11 xorg-server and xf86-video-intel. I also have the xf86 vesafb driver and the xf86 video ati driver. I did Xorg -configure and it gets stuck on the screen with messy colors [the one right before the one with the little x and the checkered pattern - which is what I'm supposed to be seeing).

I've been following this page:

Hi, I see that you use the vesa driver.

You should use the intel driver.

Can you post your emerge --info plz ?
