Sizes of my Gentoo Installation:
I shared my disk between XP ( !! , see below.. ) and the Gentoo 2004.2. It is never easy to decide the size of each partitions. Here my example :
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 471M 60M 387M 14% / ext3
/dev/hda6 54M 6.9M 44M 14% /boot ext2
/dev/hda8 4.6G 2.9G 1.5G 67% /usr ext3
/dev/hda9 4.6G 1.1G 3.4G 24% /var ext3
/dev/hda3 25G 4.4G 19G 20% /base ext3
/dev/hda1 12G 2.7G 9.1G 23% /mnt/ms/XP ntfs
/dev/hda2 15G 1.7G 13G 12% /mnt/ms/common vfat
/dev/hda10 10G 1M 10G 1% /tmp ext2
With a swap of 512MB, and a some free disk space when i modify the /tmp size.
I “tune” a little the common disks partitioning, after my 6th install .. /Base is not really common but in fact I link /usr/portage/packages /usr/portage/distfiles /homes with directories inside /base. Like that I don't have to download again in case of ... And I link too the /opt directory (380Mo) to /usr/opt.. 10Go in /tmp is to burn DVD ...
And my symbolic links
/usr/portage/distfiles -> /base/gentoo/packages ... 2.7 Go
/usr/portage/packages > /base/gentoo/distfiles ... 850 Mo
/home -> /base/home
/opt -> /usr/opt
/etc/make.conf ( during installation and after ...)

The multimedia keyboard ( the most difficult ... )

You have to modify a lot of files for enabled the keys of the keyboard :
Fn+F1 :Ok
Fn+F3: Ok
Fn+F4 : ?? ( Hard linked ??)
Fn+F5: Ok
Fn+F6 :Ok
Fn+F7-F8: Ok ( Hard linked but work ... )
Fn+F9-F12:Ok
FN+Insert,Home,PgUp,PhDw : Working by default ...

Add to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inetd
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "hpzd70xx" {
// Describes the buttons on HP Pavilion ZD70xx models.
name[Group1]= "Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ZD70xx";

KDE 3.3 Keyboard and Mouse configuration
Emerge imwheel ...
create the file /home/UserName/.kde/Autostart/zd7000_keyboard_mouse
#!/bin/bash
XMODMAP=$(which xmodmap)
IMWHEEL=$(which imwheel)
XMODMAP -e “pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5”
killall -9 imwheel
$IMWHEEL -k -f -b "67"

Ok now you can continue the configuration : kde controle center :
Regional & Accessibility : Keyboard layout
- Enable keyboard layout
- choose the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ZD70xx keyboard
-choose U.S. English w/ ISO9995-3 (en_US)
Now is time to reboot ( or restarting /etc/init.d/local and xdm ....)
Final step ( Yes ... ) kde controle center :
Regional & Accessibility : Khotkey you can configure the multimedia keys actions:: ( dont forget to go to general setting and to activate Khotkeys daemons ). Easy ....

if everything is ok the medias keys , Volume Up, Down, and Mute works with khotkey ...

Some commands :
Screensaver + desktop lock : kdesktop_lock
Wifi : Kwifimanager ...
ENJOY ...

[KShots]

Well... I had partial success with the multimedia keyboard. My volume buttons are working . Unfortunately, I could not complete the process. When I get into KDE, enter the control center, do the keyboard layout, the zd70xx I had created in all those files does not appear. I double-checked everything you posted here (and by the way, I believe you had a couple of typos, described below) and it matches. I honestly don't know what I'm mucking with in all this .

The typos I noticed were:

1. The path of the inet file (you had /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inetd, I believe it should be /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet - I have no inetd file, just an inet)

2. Within your script (/home/UserName/.kde/Autostart/zd7000_keyboard_mouse), line 4 says XMODMAP -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5". I believe it should read $XMODMAP -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5".

Other than those two (and the multimedia not working on mine quite yet) nice job .
