Hi,
I'm going to install gentoo from stage3 and portage files.
All i want is a Gnome Desktop with audio and video capabilities and office scanner printer and network sharing,

Does anyone have a make.conf with UseFlags that will pull in all the above packages, or when i emerge xorg-server and then Gnome

Cheers,

Eyesociety

That's what profiles are for: to set a good set of default USE flags for a particular usage pattern. When you get to that point in the install, set the gnome profile:
Code:
ceres ~ # eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
  [1]   default/linux/x86/10.0
  [2]   default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop
  [3]   default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/gnome
  [4]   default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/kde *
  [5]   default/linux/x86/10.0/developer
  [6]   default/linux/x86/10.0/server
  [7]   hardened/linux/x86
  [8]   hardened/linux/x86/selinux
  [9]   selinux/2007.0/x86
  [10]  selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened
  [11]  selinux/v2refpolicy/x86
  [12]  selinux/v2refpolicy/x86/desktop
  [13]  selinux/v2refpolicy/x86/developer
  [14]  selinux/v2refpolicy/x86/hardened
  [15]  selinux/v2refpolicy/x86/server
As you can see, I'm partial to KDE myself, but to each his own. :wink:

I think best way is to follow first the gentoo installation handbook, then the x-server configuration howto and the gnome configuration howto
In that way you learn how your system works
