 |

Hello,
I'm trying to install Gentoo for the first time, and I have a problem.
I've done all you say to do in the handbook, and here : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde-config.xml
But I'm unable to start KDE.
When I type startx, I have this output:
| Code: | xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2162
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and
that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:
Xorg Common X server for most displays
Xvfb Virtual frame buffer
Xfake kdrive-based virtual frame buffer
Xnest X server nested in a window on another X server
Xephyr kdrive-based nested X server
xinit: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. |
Thank you for advance,
ProgVal |

thank you, I didn't see (because I used the french page, which is not said deprecated)
I'll see your links...
EDIT : What does that mean ? | Code: | # cd /etc/portage/package.keywords
bash: cd: /etc/portage/package.keywords: No such file or directory |

It simply means there is no such file or directory 
There are two approaches to package.keywords, and I am not very familiar with either of them. As far as I understand, the principles are
- You can have a file /etc/portage/package.keywords, in which you keep a list of packages that should use "~arch".
- You can have a directory /etc/portage/package.keywords, and in any file therein you can have a list of packages that should use "~arch".
I don't use this feature myself, so perhaps someone else can explain it better?
