couldn't you just "emerge -uD --newuse world" ?

yeah, i hear ya, but this is easier to get going at first..

here's the point-n-click, easy way to do it

emerge LinNeighborhood

if you have an ISO that takes up the whole disk, then you can try disk at once

older cdrom drives may have problems reading cds with more than one track..

but the disclaimer doesnt say anything about frying a processor..

i doubt it would be of much worth as a USE flag, but as a FEATURES flag (where you put distcc, ccache, sandbox, etc) since it would primarily be used for portage utilities...

i saw a way to boot linux using the nt bootloader a few years ago..

your webhost needs to add index.php to the default documents, which varies according to the webserver you have

if you wanted an overly complicated way of doing this, use LDAP

emerge -f package name >> file.txt

go in, strip it down to one package per line, one mirror per package..
then copy the file over to a windows computer, and wget -i file.txt

it's wednesday already
/me starts twitching from withdrawls...

i may not have the monetary means to help
but i can help with support..
i have VERY limited coding experience, but i do have alot of time using linux under my belt
i think if everyone who can not support monetarily would just donate a few minutes of time every day, Daniel Robbins would be pleased..

nope, 2.4.2

but even so, use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and emerge it yourself, you wait for the system to bootstrap, why not wait a little bit for gnome?

why does it need to?
before you do a new emerge (to upgrade or whatever), just do emerge -up > /path/to/file
then it will dump all that info to a file.. use that file to generate your list of packages to use quickpkg on..
i doubt qpkg has the ability to handle dependancies, but portage handles that ...

this thread is VERY VERY encouraging and shows the sheer amount of support and kindness to newbies and tech veterns alike..
i applaude all that have contributed to ANY open source project, and i really am glad to see this kind of support coming from the gentoo crowd especially..

The livecd does have vi on it, though the stages don't. but you run the stages in a chroot. Simple solution, which I've done nearly every time I need to edit a file... use Alt+F2 to switch to the second console, and load up vi on the file... i.e. vi /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf. it works quite nicely ...

I just upgraded from 2.4->2.6 I was running LVM on 2.4 and I uninstalled LVM and emerged LVM2. Now when I boot, the LVM manager doesn't even start. Does anyone know why this could be or a way to fix it? I enabled multi-device support and whatnot as this thread suggested but nothing is working.

couldnt you use a loopback filesystem for this so you could skip all the swapon and swapoff stuff at boot/shutdown by editing your line in /etc/fstab?

build one machine, and just use portage with --buildpkg, and on the other clients use emerge --usepkgonly, after mounting /usr/portage over nfs or samba

that to me looks like the old missing symlink..

on your /boot partition, there should be a symlink 'boot' that links to the parent directory..
that symlink would be /boot/boot

mount /boot, do ls -l and see if that symlink is present, if it isnt, then grub will not install or work correctly..

less /mnt/cdrom/docs/handbook/txt/install.txt
or open that file in nano...

vi/vim

yeah, what's the fun in that tho?
i wanna see gentoo on a keychain.. possibly even a livecd or something booting from a keychain for restores and system builds..

here's a hint:

Now, mkfoofs and mount the appropriate partitions at /foo/bar (and then /foo/bar/boot, etcetera for whatever else you desire). But, you most probably don't want to compile on the USB device, for space reasons, and you definitely don't want to redownload all those tarballs. So,
cd /foo/bar
mkdir ...
