Following the guide to get uvesafb working, I emerged klib. This
downloaded kernel 2.6.23 and the 2.6.24-rc7 patch. However, emerging
gentoo-sources previously got 2.6.24-r4. So now there are two kernel
trees. Shouldn't klibc compile against the gentoo-sources kernel?

And space is showing signs of getting tight already. I only have a
base-system, and yet it eats 3GB (from 10GB total). It looks like
Gentoo will need outrageous amounts of space for a full KDE desktop.
