| roger55 | zlost1, oh well, it worked fine for me with the 2.6.17 kernel that came on the cd. |
| vrkhans | but i live cd it is the same , right |
| roger55 | vrkhans, that's just a tool to install gentoo. |
| zlost1 | so what now, is there annother way to get a kernel besides compile ? |
| vrkhans | roger55, which desktop manager you use , or which one is good |
| roger55 | zlost1, sure, compile it yourself. vrkhans, I use kde, you can choose whatever you like. ubuntu and the cd use gnome |
| zlost1 | make menuconfig ... make bzimage and copy ? |
| roger55 | vrkhans, xfce I hear is also very nice. zlost1, right, or genkernel --menuconfig all |
| zlost1 | thats what i just did and it failed |
| vrkhans | ya thats what i am using in my other system with ubuntu |
| zlost1 | genkernel i mean |
| Constrabus | XaeroX And what flag wouyld that be |
| roger55 | zlost1, if at first you don't succeed do it yourself :) |
| vrkhans | its pretty light |
| brianw | all xfce needs is an applet for networkmanager :) |
| roger55 | vrkhans, fluxbox is another windowmanager, very lightweight. smaller than kde's startupsound :) |
| brianw | at least for my laptop... |
| vrkhans | roger should i just re try to install so that all my sound card and other packages will install again |
| uberpinguin | mark_alec: thx |
| roger55 | vrkhans, no, you should read the guide I showed you. |
| vrkhans | what about the packages |
| roger55 | vrkhans, this isn't ubuntu, in gentoo you fix stuff instead of reinstalling. |
| vrkhans | hmm |
| roger55 | vrkhans, what packages? |
| vrkhans | but i dont know much about emerge and commond prompt |
| roger55 | vrkhans, I suggest you start by reading the handbook's 2nd chapter |
| vrkhans | who it work |
| roger55 | ? |
| vrkhans | how it work |
| brianw | vrkhans: then don't use gentoo, or learn... |
| vrkhans | emerge and command prompt, i just move from windows |
| roger55 | vrkhans, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2 |
| vrkhans | what if i made any mistake in install , does it make any problem |
| roger55 | vrkhans, there is your introduction to portage/emerge and things, and this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml is a list of fine manuals for almost everything :) vrkhans, no, there is nothing almost that you cannot fix later. |

| pyguyy | hi |
| rullie | hi guys, i did a emerge -DN world recently, and it broke some of my firefox's utf character display. Though it works in terminals and gtk apps. Any idea what is wrong? |
