I did a gentoo install the lazy way:
http://gentoo-en.vfose.ru/wiki/Install_LiveDVD_12.1_to_hard_disk_drive

I modified this type of installation to have all the packages in a unique partition.

I am happy for now. But might modify the basic kde installation for the new lx is it possible to bypass?qt installation.

Each time that I shut down there is that message:
turn off computer root tty login

Is it possible to bypass that popup message to poweroff directly from the X environment?

Thanks.

Reinstall the right way.

That DVD is from 2012. It is hopelessly outdated. Practically speaking, there is no way to update it nor install any new software.

Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien. O' Brother. You are nowhere near installing Gentoo.

Gentoo is a set of tools to build your own Linux. You "install" does not qualify.

Gentoo is a rolling meta-distribution, you need to keep it up to date. You cannot update your "install" because it is too outdated. Updating it will require significantly more effort than installing Gentoo.

You cannot ignore the need to keep your "Gentoo" updated, there are security issues and you really cannot install any new application on an outdated system without updating it first.

Edit: Hello Doc, congrats on beating me!

For now this install suits my needs and permits familiarisation with the system.

Thanks for your encouragements! :wink:

It may suit your needs but it does not meet basic security requirements. When this box is connected to the internet it becomes a threat.
