GNOME on gentoo? HOW TO!?

[STiAT]

Hi everyone!

I am new to compiling gnome to a system. So i even don't know what to do, only emerge gnome

So, what i want?

Which WM should i use? Sawfish is the default (am i right), is sawfish useable, or as slow as wdm?

How to configure GNOME in XFREE86? I know that i have to set a displaymanager, depends on what window manager i use. KDE gets on with WDM by default, is sawfish brought bei GNOME by default? Or do i have to install the sawfish package by my own? Do i need to configure sawfish to GNOME?

You see, i simply need HELP setting up gnome. I am now in emerge system process, so it should take a while until i come to installing a desktop environment.

I hope someone helps me, i don't want to use KDE, it takes too much cpu-time and too much memory for my feeling. I used GNOME on RedHat 7.0, and i must say i was quiet happy with it. Only had KDE because i didn't know how to do gnome, and installed it with KDE because there was a guide to that

PS: an internet tutorial would be great too, but i havn't found one when i searched on google...

this gentoo tutor should have you up and running in no-time, not counting the time it takes to compile it all ;D

Gnome works just fine in Gentoo.
A few tips:

edit your /etc/make.conf and add "esd gnome mozilla ssl gtk imlib gnome esd bonobo"
to your USE flags.

Then take a look here:
/usr/portage/gnome-base
and here
/usr/portage/gnome-extra

To get an Idea of the packages you can install.

Thene begin to emerge it:

emerge --pretend gnome
to see what's is being installed

emerge -f gnome
to download (and not build yet) all the gnome packages

finally
emerge gnome
to actually build GNOME

Hope that helps, else contact me somehow.
